Question

Considering the relative stabilities of the resulting alkyl radicals, determine which of the indicated carbon-hydrogen bonds would have a higher value of the bond dissociation energy.

Two alkyl radicals labeled (a) and (b) for bond dissociation energy comparison in radical stability.

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.
