Question
The most stable alkene among the following is(a) $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}$(b)(c)(d)
Step 1
However, I can provide a general explanation on how to determine the stability of alkenes. The stability of alkenes is determined by the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbon atoms of the double bond. This is known as the degree of substitution. The more Show more…
