Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following reactions is not typical for alkenes?
  • Step 1: Understand what alkenes are. Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
  • Step 2: Learn about the types of reactions alkenes typically undergo. Alkenes usually participate in addition reactions.
  • Step 3: Recognize what addition reactions are. In addition reactions, atoms or groups are added to the double bond of the alkene.
  • Step 4: Understand what substitution reactions are. In substitution reactions, one atom or group in a molecule is replaced by another atom or group.
  • Step 5: Compare the two types of reactions. Since alkenes typically undergo addition reactions, substitution reactions are not typical for them.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the reaction that is not typical for alkenes is a substitution reaction.
