The total number of electrons around the carbon atom of methyl free radical are
- A six
- B eight
- C seven
- D nine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) nine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Methyl free radical is \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\)
\(\mathrm{H}-\underset{| \atop \huge\mathrm{H}}{\mathrm{C}}-\mathrm{H}\)
Each \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) bond \(2 \mathrm{e}^{-}\)\& one unpaired \(\mathrm{e}^{-}\)on \(\mathrm{C}\)-atom .
\(\therefore\) Total electrons present \(=3 \times 2+1=7\)
\(\mathrm{H}-\underset{| \atop \huge\mathrm{H}}{\mathrm{C}}-\mathrm{H}\)
Each \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) bond \(2 \mathrm{e}^{-}\)\& one unpaired \(\mathrm{e}^{-}\)on \(\mathrm{C}\)-atom .
\(\therefore\) Total electrons present \(=3 \times 2+1=7\)
