Question

6 6. Define free radical. The order of stability of frul radical follows the oder CH3 <1°<2°<3°.why
​

Answer 1

Answer:

A free radical can be defined as any molecular species capable of independent existence that contains an unpaired electron in an atomic orbital. ... [6] Free radicals attack important macromolecules leading to cell damage and homeostatic disruption. Targets of free radicals include all kinds of molecules in the body.

Answer 2

Explanation:

$free \: radical$

free radical is a highly reactive specie with an unpaired electron.

the order of stability follows this order Ch3<1°<2°<3° because the Ch3 is an electron donating group and it as the methyl group increases it donate electron towards the central carbon atom thus decreases it's postive nature and it becomes deficult for a nucelophile to attack such electron rich center
