(a)
Interpretation: Based on Hammond’s postulate the greater selectivity for bromination Vs chlorination of an
Concept Introduction : Hammond’s postulate can be described as the transition state of reaction matches with the reactants or products and with its energy.
(b)
Interpretation: Based on Hammond postulate, the fact of the relative reactivity of C-H bonds of an alkane for free radical chain halogenation to be 3° > 2°> 1º needs to be explained.
