The termination step in chlorination of methane in presence of diffused sunlight is
Correct answer: C. CI3CH+Cl → CCI4+HCl
- A. CI2→ 2CI
- B. CH4 +CI → CH3 +HCI
- C. CI3CH+Cl → CCI4+HCl
- D. H3C+CI2 → H3CCI+Cl
Explanation
Termination step in free radical substitution mechanism involvesi) Attack of free radical on other free radicalii) Bond formationiii) Formation of a moleculeCI°+CI° → CI2R°+X° → R-XR° +R° → R- R

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
