Why alkenes are less reactive towards majority of the organic reagents

1.	Why alkenes are less reactive towards majority of the organic reagents ?
Answer» Alkenes are relatively stable COMPOUNDS, but are more reactive than ALKANES because of the REACTIVITY of the carbon–carbon π-bond. ... Because the carbon-carbon π bond is relatively weak, it is quite reactive and can be EASILY broken and reagents can be ADDED to carbon.
