(a)
Interpretation:
The type of reaction of methane with chlorine when exposed to light has to be classified and the chemical equation has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Addition reaction: In addition reaction, two or more molecules are combined to form a larger product. Addition reactions are seen in
Substitution reaction of
Functionalization of alkanes is done by substitution reaction, where an atom (in alkanes, a hydrogen atom) in the original molecule replaces an atom or group of atoms. Alkane substitution takes place by a radical chain mechanism.
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of reaction of ethene with bromine in absence of light has to be classified and the chemical equation has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
