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
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) III > II > I
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
III>II>I Adjacent functional group appear to weaken \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) Bonds, hence making free radical more stable ( All the three are molecules - not radicals. We have assumed them as radicals)
