Homolytic bond dissociation energy of `C-H` bond is minimum forA. `CH_(3)CH_(2)-H`B. `(CH_(3))_(2)-H`C. `(CH_(3))_(3)C-H`D. `C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)-H`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Homolytic bonds dissociation energy of `C-H` bonds is inversly related to the stability of free radical formed. Thus, the more stable the radical, the lesser the bond disociation enrgy. Since the order of stability is
`C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)gt (CH_(3))_(3_ Cgt (CH_(3))_(2))CH gt CH_(3)CH_(2)`
the order of bonds dissociation energy is as follows:
`underset(410KJmol^(-))(C)H_(3)CH_(2)-Hunderset(395KJmol^(-1))((CH_(3))_(2))CH-H gt underset(381KJ mol^(-1))((CH_(3))_(3))-Hgt underset(356KJmol^(-1))(C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)-H`
