Q. The order of stability of the following alkenes with the first being the most stable and last being the least stable is
I.CH3CH2CH=CH2
II.(CH3)2C=C(CH3)2
III.CH3CH=C(CH3)2
IV.(CH3)2C=CH2

Solution:

Greater the substituents across double bond of alkenes greater is the stability
Thus, order of stability of given alkenes is :
(CH3)2CII=C(CH3)2>CH3CH=C(CH3)2III>(CH3)2C=CH2IV>CH3CH2CH=CH2I
