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 the atoms retains both the electrons from the bond is called heterolytic cleavage.

>

The movement of a single electron is shown by a Fishhook arrow and is called as single electron.

>

Initiation describes the initial step of formation of radicals.

>

Propagation is the chain of radical reactions. Once the radical formed in the initiation step, it reacts with suitable molecules.
