Chapter 12: Q48E (page 354)

Rank the double bonds below in terms of increasing stability:

Short Answer

Expert verified

The stability of alkenes depends on the substituents of the alkene. More substituted alkenes are more stable than less substituted alkenes.

Step by step solution

01

Stability of alkene

The stability of alkenes depends on the substituents of the alkene. More substituted alkenes are more stable than less substituted alkenes.

02

Identification of stability of alkene

We can compare the stability of alkene by the number of substitution present in the alkene. The alkene with the highest number of substituents will be the most stable. Therefore, the tetra-substituted alkene will be the most stable alkene followed by the tri-substituted alkene and lastly the di-substituted alkene.

03

Identification of stability of alkene

We can compare the stability of alkene by the number of substitution present in the alkene. The alkene with the highest number of substituents will be the most stable. Therefore, the tetra-substituted alkene will be the most stable alkene followed by the tri-substituted alkene and lastly the di-substituted alkene.

04

Identification of stability of alkene

We can compare the stability of alkene by the number of substitution present in the alkene. The alkene with the highest number of substituents will be most stable. Therefore, the most stable alkene will be the tri-substituted alkene, followed by di-substituted alkene and lastly the mono-substituted alkene.
