Question

The compound below is treated with chlorine in the presence of light. Draw the structure for the organic radical species produced by reaction of the compound with a chlorine atom. Assume reaction occurs at the weakest c-h bond.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A carbon radical is a reaction intermediate, which is produced during a free-radical reaction. These carbon radicals contain one unpaired electron on a carbon atom. Hence, these radicals are highly reactive in nature.
