During the bromination of methane, the free radical CH3• is generated. A possible terminating step of this reaction is the forma
tion of C2H6 by the combination of two free radicals.

Answer:
There will be formation of 2,3-dimethylbutane.
Explanation:
Free radical reactions are more random reactions as compared to ionic reactions.
When a propane molecules undergoes bromination there may be removal of primary hydrogen or secondary hydrogen (as shown in figure). The removal of primary hydrogen generates primary carbon free radical which is less stable than secondary carbon free radical (this can be attributed to more hyperconjugative structures in secondary carbon free radical).
So the more stable free radical will be the dominate or abundant free radical during the reaction. This will combine with another secondary free radical during termination step(as shown in figure).

Hello there!
In this case, given the solubilization of cadmium (II) hydroxide:
The solubility product can be set up as follows:
Now, since we know the concentration of cadmium (II) ions at equilibrium and the mole ratio of these ions to the hydroxide ions is 1:2, we infer that the concentration of the latter at equilibrium is 3.5x10⁻⁵ M. In such a way, the resulting Ksp turns out to be:
