Question

Give three reason why addition reaction is possible in Alkenes and Alkynes

Answer 1

1. Alkenes and alkynes contain a carbon-carbon double or triple bond, respectively, which is a source of electron density that can be used to form a new bond.

2. The pi bond in alkenes and alkynes is relatively weak, making it easier to break and form new bonds.

3. Alkenes and alkynes are electron-rich molecules, meaning they can donate electrons to form new bonds.
