Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The most stable radical that can result from cleavage of CH bond in the given molecule is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: A free radical is an atom or ion with unpaired electrons. They are reactive intermediates formed by the homolysis of covalent bond. Free radicals are classified as 1°, 2° or 3° depending upon the number of alkyl groups attached to it. As number of alkyl substitutents increases, the stability of radical also increases. This is due to the fact alkyl substituents donate their electrons to electron deficient radicals.
