3 Steps:
Initiation: Cl--Cl bond is broken by homolytic fission. This energy is provided by UV light.

Cl--Cl ----> Cl· + Cl·

Propagation: 2 stages

CH4 + Cl· ----> ·CH3 + HCl


·CH3 + Cl2 ---> CH3Cl + Cl·


Termination: 2 radicals combine to form a molecule



Cl· + Cl· ---> Cl2



·CH3 + ·CH3 ---> C2H6



·CH3 + Cl· ---> CH3Cl

Define chemical reaction and chemical equation?

A chemical reaction is a process that results in the transformation of chemical substances into new substances with different properties. A chemical equation represents this reaction using chemical formulas of the reactants and products, along with their respective coefficients to balance the equation.


What is the chemical equation of chlorine reacts with a sodium iodide?

No reaction occurs girlsnotgrey: If you look at the periodic table for the the halogens the F, Cl, Br, I Chloride is higher up on the periodic table then Iodine. Meaning that Chlorine is more reactive then Iodine. so when Iodine is mixed with sodium chloride, Chloride will stay with sodium and there will be no reaction. NaCl(aq)+I(aq)= NaCl(aq) +I(aq) as you can see there is no reaction so you just write no reaction.


Write the chemical equation that shows sodium Na and chlorine CI2 combining to form table salt NaC1?

The chemical equation for the formation of table salt from sodium and chlorine is: 2 Na + Cl2 -> 2 NaCl


Write an equation for the reaction between methane and bromine to make bromoethane and hydrogen bromide?

CH4 + Br2 --> CH3Br + HBr


Write the chemical formula for a compound that has one calcium atom and 2 chlorine atoms predict the bond between them?

The chemical formula for the compound is CaCl2, where Ca represents calcium and Cl represents chlorine. Calcium forms ionic bonds with chlorine by donating two electrons to each chlorine atom, resulting in a stable compound with a 2:1 ratio of calcium to chlorine.

Is ch4 4cl2ccl4 4hcl endothermic?

You did not write any of those chemical names correctly (methane is CH4, not ch4) and all you did was list 4 incorrectly written chemicals, you did not give a chemical equation. Only a chemical reaction can be described as endothermic or exothermic; chemicals by themselves do not have those properties.

How do write CCl covalent?

To write the chemical formula for the covalent compound formed by chlorine atoms (Cl), you would write "Cl₂" since chlorine forms a diatomic molecule. The formula Cl₂ indicates that two chlorine atoms are covalently bonded together.

If the chemical properties of the substance have not changed has a chemical reaction occurred?

It depends: just try to relate, try to write a chemical equation for and see if there are byproducts. Most likely, if the same chemical still has its same properties After the reaction, a chemical reaction has not occurred.

How do you write a complete ionic equation for a chemical reaction?

To write a complete ionic equation for a chemical reaction, first write the balanced molecular equation. Then, break down all the ionic compounds into their respective ions. Include only the ions that are involved in the reaction. Finally, write the complete ionic equation by showing all the ions present before and after the reaction.


What is chemical symbol Cl?

Cl is the symbol for chlorine. Watch out when you write chemical symbols that you correctly use upper and lower case! The superscript minus sign tells you that the chlorine has gained an electron and become a chloride ion, negatively charged.
