Alkynes
Question

Which of the statements are correct?

Moderate
Solution

Alkenes are more reactive than alkynes towards electrophilic addition because the carbocation formed is more stable than the reaction formed during the electrophilic addition of alkynes

Alkynes are more reactive than alkenes towards nucleophilic addition reactions because the vinylic carbanion formed during nucleophlic addition to alkynes is more stable than alkyl carbanion which formed as inter mediate during nucleophilic addition to alkene

Alkynes suffer less steric hindrance during adsorption on the surface of catalyst,more reactive than alkene towards catalytic hydrogenation
