Which from following alkyl substituted alkenes is most stable?

Which from following alkyl substituted alkenes is most stable?
  1. $\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CR}_2$
  2. $\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CHR}$
  3. $\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\dot{\mathrm{CH}}_2$
  4. $\mathrm{RCH}=\mathrm{CH}_2$

Solution

Greater is the number of alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms, greater is the stability of alkene. $\therefore \quad \mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CR}_2$ is the most stable alkene.
