Question
Chapter 1, Problem 68EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
When a Br2 molecule undergoes homolytic cleavage, the resultant radicals are to be mentioned
Concept Introduction:
Covalent bonds can suffer homolytic (symmetrical) bond breaking. During homolytic
cleavage, the electrons of a covalent bond become unpaired and one electron goes
with each fragment. Radicals, rather than ions, are formed. Radicals usually have a
formal charge of zero.

5. Acetone and 2-propanol are chemically interconvertible. Reduction (by the addition of the equivalent of H2) of acetone yields 2-propanol. Conversely, oxidation (by the removal of the equivalent of H2) of 2-propanol yields acetone.
Is the evaporation data for these substances the same or different? If different, can you account for why this may be the case from a comparison of the Lewis structures of each substance and the IMFs present in each substance? Explain.
When a small amount of iodine is added to a mixture of chlorine and methane, it prevents chlorination from occurring. Therefore, iodine is a free-radical inhibitor for this reaction. Calculate ∆H° values for the possible reactions of iodine with species present in the chlorination of methane, and use these values to explain why iodine inhibits the reaction. (The I¬Cl bond-dissociation enthalpy is 211 kJ>mol or 50 kcal>mol.)
