Question

Which ome is more stable carbon free radical or chlorine free radical?

Answer 1

I think carbon free radical is more stable than chlorine free radical

Answer 2

The cleavage of a covalent heteronuclear chemical bond generally results in the formation of two oppositely charged ions, with the negative charge developing on the more electronegative atom of the bonded pair and the positive charge on the less electronegative atom. As the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms becomes smaller and smaller, the tendency of the bond between them to break homolytically becomes larger and larger; each atom retains one of the electrons from the bond. Figure 1 presents several examples of reactions that involve both heterolytic and homolytic bond cleavage.
Species in which an atom has an unpaired electron are called free radicals. The
and is free radicals
