Radical Revision 2.0 / 5 based on 1 rating ? ChemistryIntermolecular forcesASOCR Created by: Natasha BechmanCreated on: 24-04-13 10:07 What is Initiation? When a Cl-Cl bond homolytically breaks because of UV light to form two radical species. 1 of 7 What is the equation? Cl-Cl --> Cl· + Cl· 2 of 7 What is propagation? Propagation is where a radical causes the formation of another radical i.e. radical substitution. This process has two steps. 3 of 7 What is the equation for the first propagation step? CH4 + Cl· --> ·CH3 + HCl 4 of 7 What is the second propagation step? ·CH3 + Cl2--> CH3Cl + Cl· 5 of 7 What is termination? When two radicals combine to form a molecule. 6 of 7 What is the equation for termination? Cl· + Cl· --> Cl2, ·CH3 + ·CH3 --> C2H6, ·CH3 + ·Cl -->CH3Cl 7 of 7
