The order of circled C - H bond dissociation energy in the following compound is
Options
- AII > I > IV > III
- BIV > III > I > II
- CI > II > IV > III
- DI > IV > II > III
Correct answer
C. I > II > IV > III
Step-by-step solution
Bond dissociation energy or bond energy (BE) of C - H bond of a hydrocarbon (R H ) can be predicted from stability of free radical (R^ ) formed by homolytic bond fission of C - H bond of the hydrocarbon. Stability order of free radicals (C)>(D)>(B)>(A)
