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.

Fill both dashes in the paragraph
Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------. The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound (discussed in the lecture videos) containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is: ---------.
