(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To draw: The resonance forms of three possible allylic intermediates that are formed during the reaction of NBS with $1-\text{methylcyclohexane}$.

Interpretation: The resonance forms of three possible allylic intermediates that are formed during the reaction of NBS with $1-\text{methylcyclohexane}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The reaction that includes the addition of one or more bromine atoms in a compound is known as bromination reaction. Bromination reaction is a type of halogenation reaction. In this reaction, NBS (source of ${\text{Br}}^{·}$) that is $\text{N}-\text{bromosuccinimide}$ is used as a reagent which helps in the radical substitution.

A molecule that is uncharged and contains an unpaired electron is termed as free radical. Free radicals are highly reactive materials, but they have a short life span.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The ranking of three intermediates formed during the reaction of NBS with $1-\text{methylcyclohexane}$ from most stable to least stable.

Interpretation: The ranking of three intermediates formed during the reaction of NBS with $1-\text{methylcyclohexane}$ from most stable to least stable is to be predicted.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To draw: The products that are obtained from each of the free radical intermediate.

Interpretation: The products that are obtained from each of the free radical intermediate are to be drawn.
