Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The major product formed when given cycloalkane is heated with Br2 is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Free radicals are classified as 1°, 2° or 3° depending upon the number of alkyl groups attached to it. The number of alkyl substituents increases, the stability of radical increases. This is due to the fact alkyl substituents donate their electrons to electron deficient radicals.

Halogens react with alkanes in presence of heat or light to form alkyl halides. This is known as halogenation reaction. This is a free radical substitution reaction. In this the halogen substitutes the hydrogen atom from CH sigma bond of the alkane.
