Which one of the following alkenes will react faster with H 2 under catalytic hydrogenation conditions?

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The relative rates of hydrogenation decrease with the increase of steric hindrance. In order of stability of alkene, most stable the alkene slowly it gives the product.

Hence alkene which will react faster with $H_{2}$ is that which is most unstable.
