Which of the following is an essential condition for the free radical substitution reaction?
- A.
Iron catalyst
- B.
Nickel catalyst
- C.
UV light
- D.
Heating
Correct Answer
C. UV lightExplanation
UV light is an essential condition for the free radical substitution reaction because it provides the energy required to break the bond between the reactant molecules and create highly reactive free radicals. These free radicals then go on to react with other molecules, resulting in the substitution reaction. Without UV light, the reaction would not proceed as the necessary activation energy would not be met. The iron and nickel catalysts, as well as heating, are not necessary for this specific type of reaction.Rate this question:

The following molecule is a product of the reaction.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given answer is true because the statement mentions that the molecule is a product of the reaction. Since the molecule is mentioned specifically as a product, it implies that it is indeed a result of the reaction.Rate this question:
