AI Generated Solution

To determine the decreasing order of stability of the given free radicals, we will analyze each radical based on two main factors: resonance stabilization and the inductive effect (plus I effect). Let's evaluate each radical step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze each free radical 1. **(a) `Ph dot C H Ph`**: - This radical has two phenyl (Ph) groups attached to the carbon with the unpaired electron. The resonance from both phenyl groups stabilizes the radical significantly. - **Stability**: Very high due to double resonance. ...
