Explanation:
✔️FREE RADICALS
➡️ FREE RADICALS ARE ELECTRON DEFICIENT ONE ELECTRON NEUTRAL SPECIES WHICH ARE FORMED DURING HOMOLYSIS.
FREE RADICALS ARE UNSTABLE DUE TO ELECTRON DEFICIENCY.
✔️ STABILITY FACTORS
➡️ ELECTRON RELEASING GROUPS IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO STABILITY.
➡️ VILAKKU ELECTRON WITHDRAWING GROUP IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO STABILITY.
hope its help you

If the internal energy of the radical is low, the radical is stable. It will have little tendency to react further. Free radicals have only 7 electrons in their valence shell. They are higher in energy than atoms with 8 valence electrons. Carbocations are also electron-deficient species.
