Question

Considering the relative stabilities of the resultant free radicals, identify which of the indicated carbon-halogen bonds would have a higher value of the bond dissociation energy.

Two cyclic structures showing carbon-bromine bond (a) and carbon-iodine bond (b) for radical stability comparison.

Accepted Answer

Bond (a) would have a higher bond dissociation energy.

Answer

Bond (b) would have a higher bond dissociation energy.

Answer

Both bonds would have the same bond dissociation energy.

Answer

We can not determine this theoretically.
