Question

The primary factor that contribute to alkene stability is ________ [length of the parent C-chain, configuration of the double bond, substitution level on the alkene (or double bond), or Steric hindrance]. This factor can be explained via hyper conjugation. When the primary factor is the same, _______ [length of the parent chain, Substitution level on the double bond, Steric hindrance between groups on the double bond, or cis/trans/E/Z configuration of the double bond] is the secondary factor that contribute to the alkene stability. This is based on the physical size of the groups.

Answer 1

The Primary factor that contribute to the alkene stability is substitution level on the alkene (or double bond).This factor can be explained via hyper conjugation. When the primary factor is the same, cis/trans/E/Z configuration of the double bond is the secondary factor that Contribute to the alkene stability. This is based on the physical size of the groups
