Question

Which of the following alkenes is the most stable?
Options
A CH₃CH₂CH=CH₂
B (CH₃)₂C=C(CH₃)₂
Correct Answer
C CH₃CH=CHCH₃
D CH₂=CH₂
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Tetrasubstituted alkenes (like (CH₃)₂C=C(CH₃)₂) are the most stable due to hyperconjugation and inductive effects. Stability increases with increased substitution on the double bond.

Hint

More alkyl groups attached to the double bond = greater stability.
