On attachment of $H$ and $Br$ from the $HBr$ to $C_6H_5$ free radical,what can be formed?
(A) $(i) \ C_6H_5^{\bullet} + H-Br \rightarrow C_6H_6 + Br^{\bullet}$ (more stable)
$(ii) \ C_6H_5^{\bullet} + H-Br \rightarrow C_6H_5Br + H^{\bullet}$ (least stable)
Reaction $(i)$ proceeds to form the $Br$ free radical,while reaction $(ii)$ is energetically unfavorable and does not occur.
