1.	Write hydrocarbon radicals that can be formed as intermediates during mono chlorination of 2-methylpropane ? Which of them is more stable ? Give reasons.
Answer» SOLUTION :2-methyl propane GIVES two TYPES of radicals : `CH_(3)-CH(CH_(3)) rarr CH_(3) - ""^()C(CH_(3))-CH_(3)+CH_(3)-CH(CH_(3))-""^()CH_(2)` Tertiary `3^(@)` free radical Primary `1^(@)` free radical Tertiary `3^(@)` radical is more stable because it has `9 alpha` Hydrogen and due to hyper conjugation structures it STABILIZED Primary `1^(@)` free radical is less stable because of only 1 `alpha` hydrogen and one hyper conjugative structure.
