What are the features of Radicals, Carbocations, and Carbanions ?
Select all statements that are true regarding tertiary radicals - Tertiary radicals are more stable than primary radicals due to increased hyperconjugation from attached alkyl groups. - The CH bond that leads to a tertiary radical via homolysis has a higher bond dissociation energy that the CH bond leading to a primary radical - Tertiary radical hybridization geometry is best described as sp2 hybridization rather than sp3 hybridization - Radical chlorination reactions are more regioselective than radical bromination reactions when a tertiary radical can form.
