Choose the correct option for the following free radicals in order of decreasing stability A. (C6H5)3Ć B. (CH3)2CH C. (CH3)2Ć CH3 D. C6H5C(CH3)2
Choose the correct answer from the options given below 1. A >C>D > B 2. A > B> C > D 3. В А С D 4. B>D>A>C​

Answer 1

Answer:

Radical is stabilized by α hydrogen. More the α-hydrogen more will be hyperconjugation more will be radical stabilization resonance.

Resonance is also a good stabilizing factor and is given preference than hyperconjugation.

So option 1 is correct.
