  2. Free Radical Substitution chlorination of methane i.e. homolytic breaking of covalent bonds Overall reaction equation CH4 + Cl2 CH3Cl + HCl Conditions ultra violet light excess methane to reduce further substitution

  3. Free Radical Substitution mechanism Cl + Cl CH4 + Cl CH3 + HCl CH3 + Cl2 CH3Cl + Cl CH3 + Cl CH3 + CH3 ultra-violet Cl2 initiation step two propagation steps termination step CH3Cl minor termination step CH3CH3

  4. Further free radical substitutions Overall reaction equations CH3Cl + Cl2 CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 CHCl3 + HCl CHCl3 + Cl2 CCl4 + HCl Conditions ultra-violet light excess chlorine

  14. Advice To get back to the mechanism links page from anywhere in the presentation, click the button at the top right corner of the screen. This version provides the organic mechanisms specified (for 2005 exams) by the CCEA exam board. Each stage of a reaction equation, its conditions and mechanism are revealed in turn on a mouse click or keyboard stroke. Note that there is another version available where each reaction and mechanism play automatically after an initiating click or key stroke. The number of ways of navigating through this presentation may depend on the version of PowerPoint being used and how it is configured. Some possible ways of advancing: left mouse click or return key or right arrow key or up arrow key. Some possible ways of reversing: backspace key or left arrow key or down arrow key.
