Write the condensed structural formula for the major organic product of the following reaction in the presence of light (assume that only one mole of Br2 reacted). Name the reaction mechanism and summarize in words the main steps of the mechanism. (CH3)4C + Br2

(CH3)3CCH2Br

Explanation:

This reaction proceeds by the following mechanism;

First, irradiation with light of appropriate frequency leads to the homolytic fission of the bromine molecule to yield two bromine free radicals. This is the initiation step of the reaction.

The free radical now attacks one of the -CH3 groups in neopentane leading to the formation of (CH3)3CCH2Br.

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
