Why are allylic and benzylic radicals always more stable?
Benzylic and allylic radicals are more stable because they are stabilized by resonance.
Resonance involves a delocalization of electron density, and any process that delocalize electrons lowers the energy of a system.
Its resonance energy is about 100 kJ/mol.

Allylic and benzylic radicals are more stable due to resonance stabilization, where the unpaired electron is delocalized across adjacent carbon atoms, lowering the overall energy of the radical. This resonance disperses the electron density, reducing the reactivity of the radical and enhancing its stability.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- Which has a higher boiling point: ether, aldehyde, alkane, or alcohol?
- Is BDE a measure of free radical stability?
- Why is the reaction of alkanes with iodine thermodynamically unfavorable?
- Alkanes are compounds of carbon and hydrogen with the general formula #C_nH_(2n+2)#. An alkane component of gasoline has a molar mass of between 125 and 130 g/mol. What is the value of n for this alkane?
