Description

https://joechem.io/videos/16 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we continue to talk about the Free Radical Chain Rxn. Having gone through the mechanism already (https://joechem.io/videos/15), this video serves to unravel the mystery of why Free Radical Chlorination is less selective (or "picky", if you will) as opposed to Bromination. Well, it all can be explained by the inner workings of the reaction mechanism combined with a concept called Hyperconjugation, and thats what we dive into in this video.
