Detailed Solution
As the substituents around the double bond increases,steric crowding around the double bond increases,and hence the addition of hydrogen across the double bond decreasestherefore the energy [heat] released during hydrogenation decreases.Note: Heat of hydrogenation:-The amount of heat released when one mole of hydrogen added across the double bond is called heat of hydrogenation.AlternativelyH.O.H∞1stability of alkene Stabillity of alkene∞No. of α H- atoms
