Q. Homolytic fission of the following alkanes form free radicals $CH_3 -CH_3, CH_3 -CH_2 -CH_3, (CH_3)_2 CH - CH_3, CH_3 - CH_2 - CH (CH_3)_2$. Increasing order of Stability of the radicals is :

NEETNEET 2013Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

Correct answer is (b) $CH_3-\dot{C}H_2 < CH_3-\dot{C}H -CH_3< (CH_3)_2\dot{C}-CH_2CH_3 < (CH_3)_3\dot{C}$
