Among the given reactions
˙
C
H
3
+
˙
C
H
3
→
C
H
3
−
C
H
3
has zero activation energy.
All the other reactions are following a free radial which needs energy in the form
U
.
V
light which is high activation energy.
Where as in the above reaction the free radicals are bonded together by lowering their energy thus by increasing the stability.
So, the reaction
˙
C
H
3
+
˙
C
H
3
→
C
H
3
−
C
H
3
has zero activation energy.
