Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the given radical halogenation reaction is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

A free radical halogenation reaction is a type of reaction in which the replacement of hydrogen atom with a bromine atom in the moleculetakes place in the presence of UV light. It is a type of a halogenation reaction.

Molecules that have one unpaired electron are called free radicals.

A chemical reaction in the presence of a free radical is called a free radical reaction.
