The increasing order of stability of the following free radicals is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Stability of free radicals is increased by:Resonance: Phenyl groups stabilize the radical through delocalization. More phenyl groups mean more stability.Hyperconjugation: Alkyl groups stabilize the radical. .Resonance stabilization is much stronger than hyperconjugation.: radical.: radical.: Benzylic radical with resonance from two rings.: Benzylic radical with resonance from three rings (triphenylmethyl radical).Order: .
