Q. Which of the following cannot be considered as a step of mechanism in chain reaction of methane with $C l_{2}$ ?

$C l_{2} ⟶ C l^{∙}$

$C H_{4} + C l^{∙} ⟶ C H_{3} Cl + H^{∙}$

$C l^{∙} + C H_{4} ⟶ C H_{3}^{∙} + H Cl$

$C l^{∙} + C H_{3} ⟶ C H_{3} Cl$

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