(imp) This question ask 20 times in exam*.

Alkanes have a single bond, less energy than alkenes and alkynes which have respectively two and three bonds and higher energy. Higher energy means shorter bonds which means stronger bonds. But in this case, the stronger bonds in alkenes/alkynes have higher bond energy and thus more unstable than alkanes.
