What reactive species is produced in the initiation step of the free radical chlorination of 2,2-dimethylpropane

See explanation

Explanation:

An initiation step is the first step in a free radical mechanism. In this step, free radicals are generated from a stable compound. The initiation step tends to increase the concentration of radicals present in the system.  It leads to a net increase in the number of free radicals in the system.

For the chlorination of 2,2-dimethylpropane, the initiation step is;

Cl2 + hv >2Cl.

Note that hv is used to represent light

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.

the answer your looking for is c).
