Concept Introduction :

When the bonding cannot be represented by a single Lewis formula, resonance is a means to describe delocalized electrons inside specific molecules or polyatomic ions. With such delocalized electrons, a molecule or ion can be represented by a number of resonance structures.

A radical substitution reaction is one in which one or more of the atoms or groups present in the substrate are replaced by new atoms or groups using a free radical mechanism. A radical chain reaction's initiation step is the point at which a free radical is created for the first time.
