The correct Answer is:
To determine the most stable radical among the given options, we will analyze each radical based on hyperconjugation and resonance stabilization. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Radicals**: - Let's denote the radicals as A, B, C, and D for analysis. 2. **Analyze Radical A**: - Radical A has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon bearing the radical. - Hyperconjugation: Each hydrogen can contribute to hyperconjugation. In this case, there are 4 hydrogen atoms contributing to hyperconjugation. - Stability: Moderate stability due to limited hyperconjugation. 3. **Analyze Radical B**: - Radical B has 3 hydrogen atoms on one side and 2 on the other. - Hyperconjugation: This gives a total of 7 hydrogen atoms contributing to hyperconjugation. - Stability: More stable than A due to increased hyperconjugation. 4. **Analyze Radical C**: - Radical C has 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 hydrogen atom, and 3 hydrogen atoms on the respective carbons. - Hyperconjugation: This gives a total of 6 hydrogen atoms contributing to hyperconjugation. - Additionally, there is a double bond present which can participate in resonance stabilization. - Stability: The resonance effect from the double bond significantly increases the stability of this radical, making it the most stable among the options. 5. **Analyze Radical D**: - Radical D has only 1 hydrogen atom attached. - Hyperconjugation: This contributes to only 1 hydrogen atom for hyperconjugation. - Stability: This is the least stable radical due to minimal hyperconjugation and lack of resonance. 6. **Conclusion**: - Comparing the stability of all radicals: - A: Moderate stability (4 hyperconjugation) - B: More stable than A (7 hyperconjugation) - C: Most stable due to resonance and hyperconjugation (6 hyperconjugation + resonance) - D: Least stable (1 hyperconjugation) - Therefore, the most stable radical is **C**. ### Final Answer: The most stable radical among the given options is **C**.

To determine the most stable radical among the given options, we will analyze each radical based on hyperconjugation and resonance stabilization. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Radicals**: - Let's denote the radicals as A, B, C, and D for analysis. 2. **Analyze Radical A**: ...
