Which from following alkyl substituted alkenes is most stable?

  1. A \(\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CR}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CHR}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\dot{\mathrm{CH}}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{RCH}=\mathrm{CH}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CR}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Greater is the number of alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms, greater is the stability of alkene.
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CR}_2\) is the most stable alkene.
