Concept introduction:
>The breaking of a covalent bond between two atoms in a way that each atom retains one of the electrons from the bond is called homolytic cleavage.
>The breaking of a covalent bond between two atoms in a way that one of theatomsretainsboth the electrons from the bond is called heterolytic cleavage.
>The movement of a single electron is shown by a Fishhook arrow andis also called as a single electron.
>Initiation describes the initial step of the formation of radicals.
>Propagation is the chain of radical reactions. Once the radical is formed in the initiation step, it reacts with suitable molecules.
