New cards

Combustion

Can either be complete (CO2 + H2O)

or incomplete (CO/C + H2O)

2
New cards

Radical substitution

Alkane —> haloalkane

reagents: Halogen and UV(forms radicals)

3
New cards

Initiation

HOMOLYTIC FISSION: breaking halogen covalent bonds.

Cl2 —> (UV) 2CL°

4
New cards

Propagation

Radical attacks alkane to form a new radical. Reacts to form original radical.

E.g

Cl° + CH4 —> CH3° + HCL

CH3° + Cl2 —> CH3Cl + Cl°

5
New cards

Termination

Killing radicals by reacting with eachother.

1) 2Cl° —> Cl2

2) Cl° + CH3° —> CH3Cl

3) 2CH3° —> C2H6
