(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The mechanism for the given reaction between an alkene and bromine molecule in the presence of light.

Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction between an alkene and bromine molecule in the presence of light is to be stated.

Concept introduction: A molecule that does not possess a charge and contains an unpaired electron is termed as free radical. Free radicals are highly reactive material, but they have a short life span.

The reaction that includes the addition of one or more bromine atoms in a compound is known as bromination reaction. Bromination reaction is a type of halogenation reaction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The overall value of ΔH° for each step shown in the above mechanism of the given reaction and if the calculated values are consistent with a rapid free-radical chain or not.

Interpretation: The overall value of ΔH° for each step shown in the above mechanism of the given reaction is to be calculated. If the calculated values are consistent with a rapid free-radical chain or not is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The reaction that includes the addition of one or more bromine atoms in a compound is known as bromination reaction. Bromination reaction is a type of halogenation reaction. In this reaction, NBS (source of Br·) that is Nbromosuccinimide is used as a reagent which helps in the radical substitution.

The energy that is required to break 1mol of the bond of any gaseous compound to form different atoms is known as bond dissociation enthalpy.
