The correct order of relative stability for the given free radicals is

Question

The correct order of relative stability for the given free radicals is (A) II > I > III (B) II > III > I (C) III > I > II (D) III > II > I

III > II > I Adjacent functional group appear to weaken C - H Bonds, hence making free radical more stable ( star All the three are molecules - not radicals. We have assumed them as radicals)

Q. The correct order of relative stability for the given free radicals is

II $>$ I $>$ III

II $>$ III $>$ I

III $>$ I $>$ II

III $>$ II $>$ I

$III > II > I$
