Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equations of initiation and propagation steps for the formation of dichloromethane by free-radical chlorination of chloromethane are to be written.

Concept introduction:

>

The breaking of a covalent bond between two atoms in a way that each atom retains one of the electrons from the bond is called homolytic cleavage.

>

The breaking of a covalent bond between two atoms in a way that one of theatomsretainsboth the electrons from the bond is called heterolytic cleavage.

>

The movement of a single electron is shown by a Fishhook arrow andis also called as a single electron.

>

Initiation describes the initial step of the formation of radicals.

>

Propagation is the chain of radical reactions. Once the radical is formed in the initiation step, it reacts with suitable molecules.

Don't used hand raiting and don't used Ai solution
I don't understand what to put for final step. Does that just mean termination? And would a radical form when I add bromine to ch2 between the rings?
None
