The correct order of the bond dissociation energies of various C - H bonds present in the compound is
Options
- Aα < β < γ < θ < λ
- Bα < γ < θ < β < λ
- Cλ > α > θ > β > γ
- Dβ < α < γ < λ < θ
Correct answer
A. α < β < γ < θ < λ
Step-by-step solution
Dissociation of C - H bond is homolytic cleavage, thus consider carbon free radical stability. Higher is the stability of free radical lesser is the amount of energy required for dissociation of bond.
