Q. Which of the following is the most stable alkene?

AFMCAFMC 2007

Solution:

We know that the greater number of alkyl groups attached to double bonded carbon atoms, more stable is the alkene. Therefore, most stable alkene is $R_{2} C = CR _{2}$

Order of stability of alkenes is
$CH _{2}= CH _{2} < R CH = CH _{2} $
$ < R CH = CH R < R_{2} C = CR _{2}$
