Question
Chapter 10, Problem 5Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: In the given reaction, the most stable radical formed is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The molecule that contains at least one unpaired electron is known as a radical.
The relative stability of radicals is the same as carbocations.
The stability order of radicals is as follows:
The stability of the chemical species is inversely proportional to the potential energy, i.e., greater the potential energy least is the stability of chemical species and vice-versa.
