Why alkenes do not undergo addition reactions?
Answers
Answer:
mark as brainliest and follow me
Explanation:
Alkenes are unsaturated molecules, which means they do not have all the hydrogen they could have. This is because there is at least one double bond between carbons.
This is a stable structure, but not the most stable, so when certain compounds or elements are added, like fluorine, they undergo an addition reaction.
Answer:
actually ur question is wrong....alkenes undergo addition reaction nd alkanes do not undergo addition reaction
Explanation:
ALKENES:- Alkenes are unsaturated molecules, which means they do not have all the hydrogen they could have. This is because there is at least one double bond between carbons. This is a stable structure, but not the most stable, so when certain compounds or elements are added, like fluorine, they undergo an addition reaction
ALKANES:- Alkanes do not undergo this reaction because they already only have single σ -bonds, and so they cannot become more stable or stronger structurally - they are already at the peak, and so can only swap things around in substitution reactions
