Chapter 3, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Mechanism for monobromination of methane that includes initiation, propagation and termination steps should be written.

Concept introduction: The monobromination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via radical chain mechanism. Bromine transforms CH4 into bromoethane as the major halogenated product with variety of side products due to various possibility of chain termination.

It is summarized in the illustration as follows:
