Question

Which statement does NOT apply to Alkenes?

Answer 1

Answer:

They are more stable than alkanes

Explanation:

• Alkenes are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons which means they have a double bond in their structure, or lack maximum number of hydrogen atoms on each carbon.
• Alkenes have a general formula of CnH2n. They are called unsaturated hydrocarbons since they have a double bond. They are therefore less stable compared to alkanes and also are readily reactive.

Answer 2

c) They are more stable than alkanes (just took the quiz and got this question correct)
