Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The propagation step needs to be defined with examples.
Concept introduction: A free radical mechanism undergoes via several steps. They are as follows:
- Initiation
- Propagation
- Termination.
(b)
Interpretation: The initiation step needs to be defined with examples.
Concept introduction: A free radical mechanism undergoes via several steps. They are as follows:
- Initiation
- Propagation
- Termination.
(c)
Interpretation: The term bond homolysis needs to be defined with examples.
Concept introduction: The bond formed between two atoms in a molecule can be broken homolytically and heterolytically by different processes.
(d)
Interpretation: The term limiting reagent needs to be defined with examples.
Concept introduction: In a chemical reaction, if one of the reactant is present in excess amount than the other, the other reactant will be limiting and the amount of product formed depends on the amount of the limiting reactant.
(e)
Interpretation: The term secondary hydrogen atom needs to be defined with examples.
Concept introduction: The hydrogen atom attached to secondary carbon atom is secondary hydrogen atom.
