(a)
Interpretation: The diagram for comparison of reactions of bromine radical with primary and secondary hydrogens of propane needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: The primary hydrogen atom in an
(b)
Interpretation: The transition state which is early and which is late needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction: The primary hydrogen atom in an alkane is the atom bonded to the terminal carbon atom. Whereas, the secondary hydrogen atom is hydrogen atom bonded to the central or non-terminal carbon atoms in an alkane.
(c)
Interpretation: The transition state in case of bromine radical will show a greater or lesser radical character than the chlorine radical needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The primary hydrogen atom in an alkane is the atom bonded to the terminal carbon atom. Whereas, the secondary hydrogen atom is hydrogen atom bonded to the central or non-terminal carbon atoms in an alkane.
(d)
Interpretation: Whether the answer in part (c) is consistent with the selectivity difference between the reaction of chloride and bromide radical and propane or not needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The primary hydrogen atom in an alkane is the atom bonded to the terminal carbon atom. Whereas, the secondary hydrogen atom is hydrogen atom bonded to the central or non-terminal carbon atoms in an alkane.
