Question

The order of reactivity of alkenes, `underset"I"((CH_3)_2C=CH_2). underset"II"(CH_3CH=CH_2), underset"III"(CH_2=CH_2)`
when subjected to acid-catalysed hydration is
A. I gt II gt III
B. I gt III gt II
C. III gt II gt I
D. II gt I gt III

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
Reactivity increases as the electron density in the double bond increases, i.e., I gt II gt III
