The conversion of methane to chloromethane is a type of
The conversion of methane to chloromethane is a type of
The correct option is A Substitution Reaction
Different types of reactions are listed below:
(i) Substitution reaction: Reaction in which an atom or a group in a compound is replaced by another atom or a group.
(ii) Addition reaction: Reaction in which unsaturated carbon compounds reacts with other molecules to form saturated carbon compounds.
(iii) Polymerization: Process in which a large number of simple molecules combine to form the complex molecule.
(iv) Combustion reaction: Reaction in which hydrocarbons combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water along with heat and light.
The conversion of methane to chloromethane is an example of a substitution reaction in which chlorine is getting substituted.
CH4(g)+Cl2(g)→CH3Cl(g)+HCl(g)
