Bond space dissociation space energies space indicate space that space 19 space kcal space less space energy left parenthesis 104 minus 85 right parenthesis space is space needed space to space form space the space benzyl space radical space from space tolune space than

This space is space because space the space stability space of space benzyl space radical space is space more space than space that space of space methane space because space of space resonance space effect.
This space resonance space causes space stabilisation comma space that space of comma space lowers space the space energy space of space content. end style
