Given below are two statements.
Statement I: The correct order of increasing stability of the given alkenes is:
1-pentene 
cis-2- pentene 
trans-2-pentene 
-methyl-2-butene.
Statement II: 
is neither an electrophile, nor a nucleophile.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
• Alkene stability increases with greater alkyl substitution (hyperconjugation) and trans 
cis for disubstituted alkenes → 1pentene < cis-2-pentene < trans-2pentene < 2-methyl-2-butene.
• Nucleophiles require a lone pair; amines act as nucleophiles due to the unshared pair, while 
(a quaternary ammonium ion) has no lone pair and no vacant orbital → neither nucleophile nor electrophile.
