Gunnar Freeman · Answer 1

Answer: Inittiation: Br2 - > Br. + Br.

Propagation: CH3CH (CH3) CH3+Br. - > CH3CH (CH3) CH2. + HBr

CH3CH (CH3) CH2. + Br. - > CH3CH (CH3) CH2Br

CH3CH (CH3) CH2Br + Br. - > CH3C. (CH3) CH2Br + HBr

CH3C. (CH3) CH2Br + Br. - > CH3CBr (CH3) CH2Br

Termination: Br. + Br. - >Br2
