Q18 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (19 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry

For the following radicals, the correct order of their stability is Figure

  • A
    $[\mathrm{A}] < [\mathrm{B}] < [\mathrm{C}] < [\mathrm{D}]$
  • B
    $[\mathrm{D}] < [\mathrm{C}] < [\mathrm{B}]>[\mathrm{A}]$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $[\mathrm{B}] < [\mathrm{C}] < [\mathrm{D}] < [\mathrm{A}]$
  • D
    $[\mathrm{B}] < [\mathrm{C}] < [\mathrm{A}] < [\mathrm{D}]$

Solution

Figure
More the $\propto \mathrm{H}$, more will be its stability of free radicals. So, the correct order is $[\mathrm{B}] < [\mathrm{C}] < [\mathrm{D}] < [\mathrm{A}]$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
