Notes. Dots indicate which carbon atom hosts the radical site (i.e. an unpaired electron), where appropriate. For brevity, we omit most hydrogen-addition steps to form ethane and propane. Reactions between simple radicals to form ethane, propane, or their precursors are similarly omitted from the table. Dashes indicate an assumed activation energy barrier of zero.
