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:
Both <u>elements </u>and <u>compounds</u> can be classifies as pure substances because they have distinct properties and composition.
Explanation:
Elements and compounds are considered as pure substances because both are always formed form are have same kind of atoms.
For example,
Carbon dioxide is compound. It always consist of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
Water is compound it always have same kind of atoms two hydrogen and one oxygen that's why compounds are considered as pure substances.
Same is the case with elements. For example,
Hydrogen is element and it always consist of H atoms.
Iron is another element and it always have iron atoms.
So elements and compounds are always consist of same substances that's why they are considered as pure.
In a food chain, energy is passed through one link to another. When a herbivore eats only a certain fraction of the energy, (which comes from the food) it becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore in order to carry out its life processes (ex. movement, digestion, reproduction). It doesn’t necessarily threaten the plants survival, there’s also a benefit. When a animals poops out the fruit (defecate) in another area those seeds get carried to new places with the help of a dab of fertilizer and a little bit of moisture. They also help supply nutrients when they die and decompose.
Examples that have been believed to be science: such as religion, flat earth, etc.
