The \(π-bond\) present is alkenes is weaker than \(σ-bond\) present in alkanes.
That makes alkenes less stable than alkanes.
Hence, statement-I is correct.
Carbon-carbon double bond is stronger than Carbon-carbon single bond because more energy is required to break 1 sigma and 1 pi bond than to break 1 sigma bond only.
Hence, statement-II is also correct.
Therefore, the correct option is (A): Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
The reactions which cannot be applied to prepare an alkene by elimination, are
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
In organic chemistry, an alkene is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond.[1]
Alkene is often used as synonym of olefin, that is, any hydrocarbon containing one or more double bonds.
