Reactivity of alkenes towards HX decreases in the order

Question

Reactivity of alkenes towards HX decreases in the order (A) Butene > Propene > Ethene (B) Butene > Ethene > Propene (C) Ethene > Propene > Butene (D) None of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Reaction intermediate of electrophilic addition is carbocation. Therefore, reactivity of alkene will depend on the stability of carbocation
