    don't be confused .. you are checking alpha H from alkene, but here we are checking stability of free radical so check the factors which stabilised free radical

    we have to check both or only alpha H of free redical

    because we count Alpha H atoms on alpha carbon (nearest Carbon) atom which must be SP3 hybridised. here showing carbon atom is beta so not included in alpha H counting
