Comprehension – 1 : (Question No. 24-26)

Homolytic bond fission of a covalent single bond gives rise to free radicals. Owing to
the presence of an odd electron, free radicals are highly reactive. They have planar to
pyramidal geometry depending upon the groups attached to the C−atom having odd
electron. Alkyl free radicals are stabilised by hyperconjugation whereas allyl and benzyl
free radicals are stabilised by resonance. They are formed as intermediates in the
reaction mixture either in the gaseous phase or in non−polar solvents. Addition of HBr
to alkenes in presence of peroxide, the substitution of allylic or benzylic hydrogen by ‘Cl’
at high temperature or by ‘Br’ in presence of NBS are examples of reactions involving
free radical intermediates.
