Problems with free radical substitution

You can get mixture of products

To combat this → have excess of reactant that isn't the halogen

Can get a mixture of isomers as the reaction can take place at any point of the chain

New cards

Catalytic cracking

Turns long hydrocarbon chain into smaller alkane and alkene
