If Bromine bound to a primary carbon is a better leaving group/more unstable than bromine bound to a tertiary carbon, why is it that the bromine bonded to a primary carbon has a stronger bond than a bromine bonded to a tertiary carbon? The BDE for the bromine-primary is higher, correct?
Are primary carbon-halogen bonds more reactive just because of steric hindrance, and not due to bond strength?
