Draw mechanism for Cl2 and methyl butane under UV light? Name stages

  • Initiation

    Cl2 - 2Cl*

  • Propagation

    CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH3 + Cl* → CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2* + HCl

    CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2* + Cl2 → CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2Cl + Cl*

  • Termination

    Cl* + Cl* → Cl2

    CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2* + CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2* - CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH2CH2CH(CH3)CH3
