1. Molecularity of elementary reactions 

 Some elementary reactions for the reaction between CH4 and Cl2 are

               Cl2   -------->       2 Cl

                    2 Cl     --------->    Cl2

                    2Cl + CH4 ---------->    Cl2 + CH4*

                    Cl + CH4 --------->   HCl + CH3

                    CH3 + Cl    ------------->    CH3Cl

                    CH3 + CH3 -------------->   CH3-CH3

                    CH3Cl + Cl --------------->   HCl + CH2Cl

                      CH2Cl + Cl ---------------->   CH2Cl2

2. Write down the rate laws and describe them as uni- bi- or ter-molecular steps.
