Chapter 15, Problem 15.3P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product formed when a chlorine atom reacts with given species is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: A free radical is an atom or ion with unpaired electrons. They are reactive intermediates formed by the homolysis of covalent bond. Free radicals are classified as $1°$, $2°$ or $3°$ depending upon the number of alkyl groups attached to it. The number of alkyl substitutents increases, the stability of radical increases. Radicals undergo reactions in order to complete their octet.
