The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the statements provided about alkynes and alkenes and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement (i)**: - "Alkynes are more reactive than alkenes towards electrophilic addition reaction." - **Explanation**: This statement is correct. Alkynes have a triple bond, which is more reactive than the double bond in alkenes. Therefore, they are indeed more reactive towards electrophilic addition reactions. 2. **Analyze Statement (ii)**: - "Alkynes are less reactive than alkenes towards electrophilic addition reaction." - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect. As established in the previous step, alkynes are more reactive than alkenes due to the presence of a triple bond. Hence, this statement is false. 3. **Analyze Statement (iii)**: - "Alkynes decolourise Br₂ water." - **Explanation**: This statement is correct. Alkynes can react with bromine water, leading to decolourisation due to the formation of dibromoalkenes. 4. **Analyze Statement (iv)**: - "Addition of HBr to alkenes in presence of peroxide proceeds via Markovnikov's rule." - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect. The presence of peroxide leads to anti-Markovnikov addition of HBr to alkenes, meaning that the bromine atom will add to the less substituted carbon atom of the alkene. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are: - Statement (ii): "Alkynes are less reactive than alkenes towards electrophilic addition reaction." (Incorrect) - Statement (iv): "Addition of HBr to alkenes in presence of peroxide proceeds via Markovnikov's rule." (Incorrect) ### Final Answer: The incorrect statements are (ii) and (iv).

To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the statements provided about alkynes and alkenes and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement (i)**: - "Alkynes are more reactive than alkenes towards electrophilic addition reaction." - **Explanation**: This statement is correct.
