Q. Assertion :In free-radical chlorination reaction using

U V - l i g h t,

UV-light is required only for initiation reaction as

C l - C l + U V \to 2 C l^{*}

Initiation Although free radicals are not consumed in overall propagation step and therefore, it appears that the reaction would continue to occur even in absence of

U V

source once initiated, continuous UV-bathing is required. Reason: Free radicals are consumed in termination step, therefore needs to be produced continuously.
