→ 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.
