(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The structure of two products.

Interpretation: The structure of two products is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. Generally, the initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.
