Correct answer is (c) CH 4+ overset bulletC l longrightarrow C overset bulletH 3+ HCl

Q. During chlorination of methane to methyl chloride, the propagation step is represented by

$Cl - Cl h v C ∙ l + C ∙ l$

$C H_{3} ∙ + C ∙ l ⟶ C H_{3} Cl$

$C H_{4} + C ∙ l ⟶ C H_{3} ∙ + H Cl$

$C ∙ l + C ∙ l ⟶ Cl - Cl$

Correct answer is (c) $C H_{4} + C ∙ l ⟶ C H_{3} ∙ + H Cl$

Q. During chlorination of methane to methyl chloride, the propagation step is represented by

Cl−Clhv​C∙l+C∙l

CH3​∙​+C∙l⟶CH3​Cl

CH4​+C∙l⟶CH3​∙​+HCl

C∙l+C∙l⟶Cl−Cl

Correct answer is (c) CH4​+C∙l⟶CH3​∙​+HCl

$Cl - Cl h v C ∙ l + C ∙ l$

$C H_{3} ∙ + C ∙ l ⟶ C H_{3} Cl$

$C H_{4} + C ∙ l ⟶ C H_{3} ∙ + H Cl$

$C ∙ l + C ∙ l ⟶ Cl - Cl$

Correct answer is (c) $C H_{4} + C ∙ l ⟶ C H_{3} ∙ + H Cl$
