Why alkenes are more reactive than alkanes – Hydrocarbons Notes

Reactivity of alkenes:   Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes. Reason !! Alkenes have a double bond which consists of a strong sigma (δ) bond (bond energy = 83 Kcal/mol) and a weak pi (π )-bond (bond energy = 63 Kcal/mol). The density of π-electrons is high above and below the bond axis. In other …
