Aromatic compounds are resonance stabilized. Hence if a compound is aromatic it is more stable. The main thing to note here is that AROMATICITY GIVES STABILITY TO A COMPOUND. Therefore cyclopropene is an aromatic compound and hence is more stable than propene.

What is the common name of propene?

Propane is the common name---I have never heard of it called anything else. Natural gas contains propane, but there is typically more methane and ethane in natural gas than there is propane.


Are methyl cation is more stable than ethyl cation?

An ethyl cation is more stable because the carbon adjacent to the positively charged carbon has three sigma bond orbitals available for overlap with the vacant p orbital, whereas methyl cation does not have any sigma bond orbitals available for overlap with the vacant p orbital.


Is propyne more reactive than propane?

Propylene and propene are synonyms for the same compound with the chemical formula C3H6.If you meant "which is more reactive: propene or propyne", the former being the alkene (contains a double bond) and the latter being the alkyne (contains a triple bond), then propyne should be the more reactive.This is, perhaps, due to the relatively higher steric accessibility of the 4 π(pi)-electrons in propyne (uncited).


Why is cyclopropyl methyl cation more stable than tpm cation?

the case of cyclopropylalkyl cation and substituted cyclopropyl cations is interesting. Cyclopropylmethyl cation has been found to be more stable than benzyl cation and the stability increases with each addition of cyclopropyl groups. This increased stability has been explained between the bent orbitals of cyclopropyl rings and the vacant p orbital of the cation carbon. The vacant p orbital lies parallel to C2-C3 bond of the cyclopropane ring and not perpendicular to it. Thus the geometry becomes similar to that of a cyclopropane ring conjugated with an olefinic bond.


Will the element potassium be more likely to form an anion or a cation?

Potassium is more likely to form a cation, specifically the K+ ion, since it readily loses its valence electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.

What are methane and ethane and propene used for?

Methane, ethane, and propane are used primarily as fuels; they are, in decreasing order, the most common constituents of natural gas. Propene, like most other unsaturated hydrocarbons, can be used as a fuel, but generally is not, because it is more economically valuable as a starting material for making more valuable products such as iso-propyl alcohol.

How would you convert 2 chloropropane to propene?

when 2 chlori propane is reacted in presence of ethanolic koH it form propene .


When a cation combins with an anion to form an ionic compound is the chemical reaction endothermic?

No, it is exothermic because they form bonds to become more stable spontaneously


Is magnesium anion or cation?

i don't know go back to school:) it's a cation!


What kind of ion is sodium most likely to forms?

Na+, which is a cation. Cations are positively charged; anions are negatively charged. You can remember because an is similar to and or add, which means that you are adding an electron, which is negatively charged. A cation has no electron added, it has one taken away.


When chlorine is ionized does it become anion or cation?

Chlorine becomes an anion when it is ionized, as it gains one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration.


How propene molecules form a polymer?

Propene can undergo addition polymerisation because it consist of a susceptible double bond which can open up and react with other propene molecules to produce a long continuous macromolecule called polypropene.
