The bond dissociation enthalpies of n-propyl and isopropyl chloride are the same within experimental error (Table 4.3). However, it is incorrect to conclude that the data indicate equal stabilities of n-propyl and isopropyl radical. Why? Why are the bond dissociation enthalpies of propane a better indicator of the free-radical stabilities?
