(a)
Interpretation: Nature of below alkyl radical along with names and most stable radical should be described by orbital description.
Concept introduction: The carbon radical linked to one alkyl/carbon while other two
The carbon radical linked to two alkyl/carbon atoms and one
The various kinds of alkyl radicals are indicated below:
The tertiary radicals are most stable followed by secondary and least stable is primary methyl radical. This is because there is maximum stabilization through delocalization via hyperconjugation. The phenomenon of hyperconjugation refers to donation of
