Which of the following statements correctly explains why bromination reactions are more selective than chlorination reactions. a. bromine radical is less stable than chlorine radical, so it is more reactive and less choosy
b. bromine radical is more stable than chlorine radical, so it is more reactive and less choosy
c. bromine radical is more stable than chlorine radical, so it is less reactive and more choosy
d. bromine radical is less stable than chlorine radical, so it is less reactive and more choosy
e. relative radical stability is 3' radicals > 2" radicals> 1 radicals when bromine radicals snatch hydrogens from alkanes, but when chlorine radicals snatch hydrogens the resulting alkyl radical stability is 3 radicals < 2 radicals< 1' radicals

A bromine radical is more stable than chlorine radical, so it is less reactive and more choosy.

Explanation:

A chlorine atom being more electronegative in nature is able to attract a hydrogen atom more readily towards itself as compared to a bromine atom.

Since bromine is less electronegative in nature so bromine will be more selective as a hydrogen abstracting agent. As a result, bromine radical is more stable in nature than chlorine radical.

Thus, we can conclude that bromine radical is more stable than chlorine radical, so it is less reactive and more choosy.

explanation:

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
