For example: the CH bond between
(CH3)3C-H Weaker
vs
CH3-H Stronger
I know that the electrons will be more stabilized if the H falls away from the tertiary carbon.
But I was wondering what the actual theory is~
Because the alkyl groups are electron donating, you would think that donating more electrons to the bond would make it stronger...
