Interpretation: An explanation for the replacement of only one type of hydrogen atom in preference to any other hydrogen atom in the starting material is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. Generally, the initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The order of stability of free radical at carbon atom is
