Explain the Relative Stability of Alkenes – Hydrocarbons Notes

Relative Stability of Alkenes: Various alkenes differ in stability. The extent of stability of alkenes depends upon following factors: Position of double bond:  1-Butene is less stable than 2-butene which is evident from their heats of combustions. 1-butene being least stable liberates more heat on combustion. CH2 = CH – CH2 – CH3 + 6O2 …
