4. Relative to the respective starting materials, the radical resulting from hydrogen atom attack at the α position of naphthalene lies 14.3 kcal/mol above that from attack at the β position of styrene at the HF/6-31G*//3-21G level of theory (0 K, uncorrected for ΔEzpt); for the corresponding cations, the difference is 10.6 kcal/mol.
