The rate at which two methyl radicals couple to form ethane is significantly faster than the rate at which two tert-butyl radicals couple. Offer two explanations for this observation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. stability factor

2. steric hindrance factor

Explanation:

stability of ethane is lesser to that of two tert-butyl, so ethane will be more reactive and faster.

ethane is less hindered and more reactive, while two tert-butyl is more hindered and less reactive
