By hyperconjugation, alkenes become more stable when
AAlkyl substitution on C=C rises
BFewer alkyl groups are attached
CThe double bond is made terminal
DThe molecule loses its C-H bonds
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Alkyl substitution on C=C rises
More alkyl groups on the double bond supply more C-H bonds that donate into the pi antibonding orbital, lowering energy.
