A free-radical substitution reaction is likely to be responsible for the observations. The reaction mechanism of a reaction like this can be grouped into three phases:
- Initiation; the "light" on the mixture deliver sufficient amount of energy such that the halogen molecules undergo homologous fission. It typically takes ultraviolet radiation to initiate fissions of the bonds.
- Propagation; free radicals react with molecules to produce new free radicals and molecules.
- Termination; two free radicals combine and form covalent bonds to produce stable molecules. Note that it is possible for two carbon-containing free-radicals to combine, leading to the production of trace amounts of long carbon chains in the product.

Answer:
7.12 mm
Explanation:
From coulomb's law,
F = kqq'/r².................... Equation 1
Where F = force, k = proportionality constant, q and q' = The two point charges, r = distance between the two charges.
Make r the subject of the equation,
r = √(kqq'/F).......................... Equation 2
Given: q = q' = 75.0 nC = 75×10⁻⁹ C, F = 1.00 N
Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².
Substitute into equation 2
r = √[ (75×10⁻⁹ )²9.0×10⁹/1]
r = 75×10⁻⁹.√(9.0×10⁹)
r = (75×10⁻⁹)(9.49×10⁴)
r = 711.75×10⁻⁵
r = 7.12×10⁻³ m
r = 7.12 mm
Hence the distance between the point charge = 7.12 mm
