Question

The increasing order of stability of the following free radicals is

A. $${\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H < {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet < {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet < {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H$$
B. $${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H < {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet < {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H < {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet $$  
C. $${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H < {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet < {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H < {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet $$
D. $${\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet < {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H < {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet < {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H$$
Answer :   $${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H < {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet < {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H < {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet $$
Solution :
The order of stability of free radicals
$${\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet > {\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H > {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet > {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}\mathop C\limits^ \bullet H$$
The stabilisation of first two is due to resonance and last two is due to inductive effect.
