Question

Mention three reason why
addition reaction possible for both Alkenes and Alkynes

Answer 1

1. Both Alkenes and Alkynes contain a carbon-carbon double or triple bond, respectively, which can be broken by the addition of a reagent.

2. Alkenes and Alkynes are both electron-rich molecules, meaning they can easily accept electrons from a reagent.

3. Alkenes and Alkynes both have a relatively low activation energy, making them more likely to undergo addition reactions.
