Q. Order of stability of vinyl, allyl, tertiary radicals is :

Delhi UMET/DPMTDelhi UMET/DPMT 2006

Solution:

The stability of alkyl free radicals is not influenced by inductive effect because they have no charge (difference from carbonium and carbanions).
So, they are stabilised by hyperconjugation (no bond resonance).
The relative order of stability of common free radical.
Tri phenylmethyl $>$ benzyl $>$ allyl $>$ tert. $>$ sec. $>$ pri.$ >$ methyl $>$ venyl.
