Alkenes are generally unreactive compared alkanes. C. Alkenes react as electrophiles, whereas alkanes react as nucleophiles. D. Unlike alkynes, alkenes fail to undergo electrophilic addition reactions. Which of the following statements on bond-breaking (cleaving) or bond-forming is correct? Select one: A. In homolytic bond breaking, a bond is broken respectively by the movement of a pair of electrons in the same direction to one of the products. B. In heterolytic bond-forming, electrons flow from a nucleophile to an electrophile. C. Electron flow in homolytic bond breaking is shown by a double-headed arrow from the bond to a nucleophile. D. A double-headed arrow indicates the movement of
