These free radical •Cl atoms remove a hydrogen from the ethane making an ethyl free radical, •C2H5.
Two of these can "pair up" in a termination step to form butane.

Now study the chemical equations in the free radical steps for the chlorination of ethane in UV light. See the types of free radicals formed throughout the process , and compare these to your possible answers A- D
