Interpretation:
Propagation step should be written for the addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-methy cyclohexene in the presence of a peroxide.
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
Radical chain reaction takes place in three steps namely,
Initiation step –heat or light supplied, breaks the bond and creates radicals from a halogen molecule
Propagation step –radical from initiation step reacts with
Termination step –the combination of any two radicals resulting in all the electrons to be paired and thus the reaction gets terminated.
