The reaction we are going to explore is a more gentle one between methane and chlorine in the presence of ultraviolet light - typically sunlight. ... One of the hydrogen atoms in the methane has been replaced by a chlorine atom, so this is a substitution reaction. The Mechanism. The mechanism involves a chain reaction.

Chain reaction simply means that it occurs one after another immediately..!!!
The chain reaction of Methane
In which Hydrogen is substituted by chlorine , is written below....
CH4 +Cl2 ---> CH3Cl + HCl
CH3Cl + Cl2 ----> CH2Cl2 + HCl
CH2Cl2 + Cl2----> CHCl3 +HCl
CHCl3 + Cl2 ----> CCl4 + HCl
CCl4 is carbon tetrachloride
Okkkk bye!!!!!
All the best for exams!!!!!!!
Mark it brain list bro!!!!
