Reactivity series
It gives us an idea that which element is more reactive , or simply it is very useful in case of the study of displacement reaction. that which metal can […]
Why Alkynes are less reactive than alkenes towards electrophilic addition reaction ?
There are two reasons for less reactivity of Alkynes towards electrophillic addition reactions:- Due to greater electronegativity of sp-hybridized carbon atoms of a triple bond than sp2 -hybridized carbon atoms of a double bond, pie-electrons of alkynes are more tightly held by the carbon atoms than pie electrons of alkenes and hence are less easily available for reaction with electrophiles.
