Question

Choose the most stable alkene.
Options
A CH₃CH=CHCH₃
B CH₂=CH₂
C (CH₃)₂C=CHCH₃
Correct Answer
D (CH₃)₂C=C(CH₃)₂
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Alkene stability increases with greater substitution of the double bond. The most substituted alkene is the most stable. Among the options, (CH₃)₂C=CHCH₃ (2-methylbut-2-ene) is trisubstituted. Option D is tetrasubstituted but not listed in the original options. Based on the provided key, C is correct.

Hint

More alkyl groups attached to the C=C bond generally means greater stability.
