**Radicals can be stabilized by the donation of negative charge from resonance, or in other words, electron delocalization.
*Hyperconjugation
**Carbon radicals are stabilized by hyperconjugation, meaning that more substituted carbons are more stable, and hence have lower BDEs.
**In 2005, Gronert proposed an alternative hypothesis involving the relief of substituent group steric strain (as opposed to
