    Which one of the following compounds would have the highest heat of hydrogenation?

    A) \[C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}\]

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-CH=C{{H}_{2}}\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}CH=CHC{{H}_{3}}\]

    D) \[{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}C=C{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] The heat of hydrogenation of an alkene depends upon its stability. Higher the stability, lower the heat of hydrogenation. Since \[C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}\] has no substituent, it is the least stable alkene and hence has the highest heat of hydrogenation
