I'm reviewing for a test and having a bit of trouble fully understanding the free-radical chain reactions and writing the mechanisms (initiation, propagation and termination) steps. For example, my book describes the mechanism for chlorination of methane and I just don't follow it very well. What exactly is the point of rewriting the reaction and moving electrons over and over again to yield 3or more equations per propagation and termination step? Is there a trick or a shorter way of writing them out?
