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

∙ 12y agothe chlorination of methane does not necessarily stop after one chlorination. it may actually hard to get a mono substituted chloromethane. instead di, tri, and even tetra-chloromethanes are formed. one way to avoid this problem is to use a much higher concentration of methane in comparison to chloride. this reduces the chance of a chlorine radical running into a chloromethane and starting the mechanism over again to form a di-chloromethane. through this method of controlling product ratios one is able to have a relative amount of control over the chloromethane.

Define chemical reaction and chemical equation?
We see the chemical reaction but we write the chemical equation.
Write an equation for the reaction between methane and bromine to make bromoethane and hydrogen bromide?
CH4 + Br2 --> CH3Br + HBr
Write a balanced equation for the reaction of chlorine gas with fluorine gas?
Cl2(g)+F2(g) --> 2ClF(g)
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?
2Na+ Cl2 ---> 2 NaCl
Write down chemical formula of methane?
CH4.
Red spheres represent oxygen atoms and green spheres represent chlorine atoms. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction?
This is the picture.
Define chemical reaction and chemical equation?
We see the chemical reaction but we write the chemical equation.
What is the gas and chemical reaction when aspirin is placed in sodium bicarbonate write chemical reaction?
The chemical reaction is:C9H8O4 + NaHCO3 = C9H7O4Na + H2O + CO2
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.
What is a symbolic way to write out a chemical change?
Writing out a chemical equation for a specific chemical reaction.
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.
Write an equation for the reaction between methane and bromine to make bromoethane and hydrogen bromide?
CH4 + Br2 --> CH3Br + HBr
WHAT IS THE chemical equation for the reaction between viscose solution and sulphuric acid?

What is the chemical equation for reaction between viscose solution and sulphuric acid?
write chemical equation for the reaction between viscose solution and sulphuric acid
What is ch4 plus o2co2 plus 2h2o?
Please learn to write chemical equations properly. They require the use of capital letters.CH4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2H2O is a COMBUSTION REACTION. It shows the combustion of methane to form carbon dioxide and water.
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.
