Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.33P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation: The given radicals are to be ranked in order of increasing stability.
Concept introduction: When one alkyl group is linked to the carbon radical, then the radical is termed as primary radical. When two alkyl groups are linked to the carbon radical, the radical is termed as secondary radical and when three alkyl groups are linked to the carbon radical, the radical is termed as tertiary radical.
