Chapter 10, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The distribution of unpaired electron density in the ethyl radical and tert-butyl radical as compared to the methyl radical is to be explained and the relative stability of the radicals is to be represented.

Concept introduction:

The chemical species that consists of unpaired electrons is called a radical. Radicals are formed by homolytic cleavage and can be positive, negative, or neutral species. They are an important part of any chemical reaction.
