Question

Why is double bond more reactive than single bond\?

Answer 1

Double bonds have lesser number of electrons , relatively more stable than triple bonds. A triple bond is more reactive than a double bond. That is because it takes energy to form a bond. So, each bond you add between two atoms, increases the potential energy stored in that bond.

Answer 2

Double bonds have lesser number of pi electrons , relatively more stable than triple bonds. A triple bond is more reactive than a double bond. That is because it takes energy to form a bond. So, each bond you add between two atoms, increases the potential energy stored in that bond.
