- D Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The -bond present is alkenes is weaker than bond present in alkanes. That makes alkenes less stable than alkanes. Therefore, statement-I is correct.
Carbon-carbon double bond is stronger than Carbon-carbon single bond because more energy is required to break 1 sigma and 1 pi bond than to break 1 sigma bond only. Therefore, statement-II is also correct.
Carbon-carbon double bond is stronger than Carbon-carbon single bond because more energy is required to break 1 sigma and 1 pi bond than to break 1 sigma bond only. Therefore, statement-II is also correct.
