Which among the following alkenes is most stable?
Options
- AR ₂ C = CH ₂
- BH ₂ C = CH ₂
- CRCH = CHR
- DR ₂ C = CR ₂
Correct answer
D. R ₂ C = CR ₂
Step-by-step solution
Order of stability of alkyl substituted alkenes: aligned & R ₂ C = CR ₂> R ₂ C = CHR > R ₂ C = CH ₂, & RCH = CHR > RCH = CH ₂> CH ₂= CH ₂ . aligned Greater is the number of alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms, greater is the stability of alkene.
