Give the decreasing order of stabilities of the following alkenes :
(i) Ethene,
(ii) Propene,
(iii) `cis-2-`butene
(iv) trans-2-Butene
(v) `2-`Methy1-2-butene,
(vi) `2,3-`Dimethy1-2-butene

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the decreasing order of stabilities of the given alkenes, we will analyze each alkene based on the number of alpha hydrogens and the steric effects involved. The more alpha hydrogens an alkene has, the more stable it is due to increased hyperconjugation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures and Count Alpha Hydrogens**: - **Ethene (C2H4)**: - Structure: H2C=CH2 - Alpha Hydrogens: 0 (no alkyl groups attached). ...
