Free Radical Substitution

Initiation:
when the trouble started

Propagation:
a few exchanges...

Termination:
Halogenoalkane... a pollutant...

Further propagation
it seems that one could remove the offending chlorine with another...

Termination

except you realise sooner or later this probably will be the result....
-
sighz
why cant there be hydrogen radicals... to be the old alkane 
-

halogens are highly electronegative... they draw away electrons from the methyl/hydrocarbon group they are attached to
-
fluorine is the most highly electronegative atom there is
-
oh well, at least this can be revision for chemistry... and I don't like chemistry because there is uncertainty...
-
falling into a trap and desperately trying to get out of it...
