iTRQ - Free Radical Chlorination Mechanism

The free radical chlorination of methane is a photochemical substitution reaction where UV light or heat splits chlorine (Cl₂) into two radicals (2 Cl•), replacing hydrogen atoms with chlorine to form chloromethane.

All Chem21 iTRQs provide a safe learning environment where students receive full credit once a single correct iTRQ is submitted before a timer reaches 0.00 seconds, or 2-5 correct iTRQs are submitted after the timer reaches 0.00 seconds. No points are lost when an incorrect iTRQ is submitted.
