Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Among the given ethers, the one which is most apt to form a peroxide has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
Bond strength is depends on the formation of the radical, if the radical is involving in resonance which is weakest bond strength.
Peroxide is a radical initiator, it has O-O bond in the molecule.
It is used in the radical reaction for the radical initiator.
(b)
