The order of increasing reactivity of the following compounds towards HCl will be
(1) `CH_2=CH_2`
(2) `(CH_3)_2C=CH_2`
(3) `CH_3CH=CHCH_3`

A

`1 lt 2 lt 3`

B

`1 lt 3 lt 2`

C

`3 lt 2 lt 1`

D

`2 lt 1 lt 3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The stability of alkenes follows the order `R-CH = CH-R gt R_(2)C = CH_(2) gt =CH_(2) gt CH_(2) = CH_(2)`
So the order of reactivity : `1 gt 2 gt 3`
