Question

Which of the statements about the properties of the carbon-carbon double bond is not true? there is restricted rotation around the carbon-carbon double bond. the stability of the carbon-carbon double bond increases as the number of substituent groups increases. whenever the two groups on each end of a carbon-carbon double bond are the same, two diastereomers are possible. trans alkenes are generally more stable than cis alkenes?
