Arrange the following free radicals in the correct order of their stability
(i) \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\stackrel{\bullet}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}\)
(ii) \(\stackrel{\bullet}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3\)
(iii) \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{\bullet}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{CH}_3\)
(iv) \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \dot{\mathrm{C}}\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{i}>\mathrm{ii}>\mathrm{iii}>\mathrm{iv}\)
  2. B iv \(>\) iii \(>\) ii \(>\) i
  3. C \(\mathrm{i} < \mathrm{ii} < \mathrm{iii} < \mathrm{iv}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{iv}>\mathrm{iii}>\mathrm{i}>\mathrm{ii}\)
Verified Solution
