Explain reactivity of alkene towards electrophilic. |
Answer» Solution :In alkene, carbon-carbon has weak `pi`-bond. Electrons of `pi`-bonds shows weak dynamic electrons. This type of `pi`-electrons SOURCE is present in alkene. So such type of reactant and compounds attack on `pi`-bond and alkene and break `pi`-bond easily and forms compounds having single bond. So alkane compounds easily GIVES addition reaction. `pi`-bond because alkene is more reactive and LESS STABLE than alkanes. So, strength of C-C in alkane (bond ethalpy `384 kJ mol^(-1)`), is less then strength of C-C in alkene (bond ENTHALPY 681 kJ/mol). |
