(B) If O2 is added, initially the rate of reaction decreases, then increases. (C) Inhibitors combine with free radical and terminate the chain reaction. (D) presence of C6H5 - underset overset||OCO - O underset overset||OC - C6H5 inhibits the free radical reaction.

C6H5 - underset overset||OCO - O underset overset||OC - C6H5 is an initiator in free radical reaction

Q. Which statement is incorrect about free radical halogenation of alkanes?

The number of product molecules formed by one photon is very high.

If $O_{2}$ is added, initially the rate of reaction decreases, then increases.

Inhibitors combine with free radical and terminate the chain reaction.

presence of $C_{6} H_{5} - O ∣∣ C O - O O ∣∣ C - C_{6} H_{5}$ inhibits the free radical reaction.

$C_{6} H_{5} - O ∣∣ C O - O O ∣∣ C - C_{6} H_{5}$ is an initiator in free radical reaction

The number of product molecules formed by one photon is very high.

If O2​ is added, initially the rate of reaction decreases, then increases.

Inhibitors combine with free radical and terminate the chain reaction.

presence of C6​H5​−O∣∣C​O−OO∣∣C​−C6​H5​ inhibits the free radical reaction.

C6​H5​−O∣∣C​O−OO∣∣C​−C6​H5​ is an initiator in free radical reaction

If $O_{2}$ is added, initially the rate of reaction decreases, then increases.

presence of $C_{6} H_{5} - O ∣∣ C O - O O ∣∣ C - C_{6} H_{5}$ inhibits the free radical reaction.

$C_{6} H_{5} - O ∣∣ C O - O O ∣∣ C - C_{6} H_{5}$ is an initiator in free radical reaction
