Alkenes undergo __________ reactions.

Open in App

Solution

Alkenes undergo addition reactions.
For example, they add hydrogen (in presence of Ni/Pt/Pd catalyst) to form alkanes
$C H_{2} = C H_{2} + H_{2} N i / P t / P d - ----- \to C H_{3} - C H_{3}$

Q. Markovnikov’s rule:

Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions. They are triggered by the acid acting as an electrophile toward the π-electrons of the double bond.

Markovnikov’s rule states that when an unsymmetrically substituted alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide, the hydrogen atom adds to the carbon that has a greater number of hydrogens, e.g.,
