(b)
Interpretation: The order of stability is to be interpreted for the given alkenes:
Concept introduction:
Unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one double bond between the carbon atoms are known as alkenes. The presence of pi bonds in these molecules makes them more reactive compared to saturated hydrocarbons; alkanes. The stability of alkenes depends on their substitution.

- Five isomeric alkanes (A–E) having the molecular formula C6H14 are each treated with Cl2 + hv to give alkyl halides having molecular formulaC6H13Cl. A yields five constitutional isomers. B yields four constitutionalisomers. C yields two constitutional isomers. D yields threeconstitutional isomers, two of which possess stereogenic centers. Eyields three constitutional isomers, only one of which possesses astereogenic center.

- Draw the alternative chair conformations for the product formed by the addition of bromine to 4-tert-butylcyclohexene. The Gibbs free energy differences between equatorial and axial substituents on a cyclohexane ring are 21 kJ (4.9 kcal)/mol for tert-butyl and 2.0–2.6 kJ (0.48–0.62 kcal)/mol for bromine.
