→ The one which has low reactivity and high bond dissociation energy.

The property of free radicals is being unstable due to lack of paired electrons.

  • The stability of free radicals depends upon the bonding strength/Dissociation energy of C H bond ,

For example here is the arrangement of

  • Secondary radical is mire stable than Primary radical.
  • Tertiary radical is more stable than Secondary radical.
  • Allylic radical more stable than Tertiary radical.
  • Benzylic radical is more stable than Allylic radical.
