Answer:
See explanation and picture
Explanation:
In the picture you have the mechanism and procedure of this reaction. Remember that this kind of reactions are given in 3 steps:
Step 1: Initiation
The reaction begins with the separation of the chlorine (Cl2) into two radicals (atoms with a single unpaired electron) by the addition of uv light.
Step 2: Propagation
The formation of the chlorine radicals, is immediately followed by the propogation steps--steps directly involved in the formation of the product. The first step is the abstraction of the hydrogen atom from the carbon, to form the radical CH2, with a lone ion, and H-Cl.
Step 3: termination
The termination involve the destruction of the free-radical intermediates, typically by two of them coming together.
See the picture for mechanism.
