Question

Which is more reactive tertiary or primary free radical ?

Answer 1

Answer:primary free radical

Explanation:

Because primary or 1degree free radical is less stable than three degree or tertiary free radical. Hence, the reactivity is opposite, meaning primary free radical is more reactive. The stability order of carbon free radicals is the same as for the Carbo cations. Hence is the reactivity comparison.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:the primary free radical are more reactive than teartiary free radical because in the teartiary they are stable by the +I effect but in primary they doesn't stable
