Alkenes mostly follow the reaction of
Correct answer: A. Addition reaction
- A. Addition reaction
- B. Elimination reaction
- C. Substitution reaction
- D. None of them
Explanation
Alkenes predominantly undergo addition reactions due to their double bond's electron-rich nature. In these reactions, new atoms or groups are added to the carbon-carbon double bond. This occurs because the double bond's pi electrons are readily available for attacking electrophiles, making addition reactions the primary reaction type for alkenes.The other options are incorrect because elimination reactions involve the removal of groups, substitution reactions involve replacing atoms or groups, and the statement 'None of them' is incorrect as alkenes do primarily undergo addition reactions.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
