Q

chlorination of methane
step 2

A

propergation
free radicals are very reactive and when they collide with methane they remove a hydrogen atom

step 2
curly arrow from double bond to positive then positive to negative
hetrolytic fission and br- is a elecrtophyle
step 3
positive joins now alkane and negative has lone pair which have curly arrow to positive charge on alkane
step 4
negative joins to alkane at the member of the past double bonded which is bonded to the most carbons
