Question: Draw the most stable radical that can result from cleavage of C-H bond in each molecule.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

a.

30 carbon radical

b.

20 carbon radical

c.

10 carbon radical

d.

30 carbon radical

Step by step solution

01

C-H breakage

The breakage of C-H bonds depends on bond dissociation energies that measure the radical鈥檚 stability.

The breakage of a strong 10C-H bond to form a 10radical requires more energy than 30 and 20 radicals. It means that 30 C-H breakage has a weaker bond than 20 C-H breakage. That鈥檚 why the 30 radical is more stable than 20 and 10 radicals.

02

More stable radical in a and b

Cleavage of C-H bond in a

30 C-H cleavage of a weak bond forms a stable radical.

Cleavage of C-H bond in b

20 C-H cleavage of a weak bond forms a stable radical.

03

More stable radical in c and d

Cleavage of C-H bond in c

10 C-H cleavage of a strong bond forms a less stable radical.
