With the help of hyperconjugation, write the increasing order of relative stabilities of the following alkenes:
CH3 — CH = CH — CH3, CH2 = CH2, CH3 – CH = CH2

Solution
The relative stability of alkenes on the basis of hyperconjugation has the order
CH subscript 2 space equals space CH subscript 2 space less than space CH subscript 3 space minus space CH space equals space CH subscript 2 space less than space CH subscript 3 space minus space CH space equals space CH space minus space CH subscript 3
