Termination) alkane length) -Cl2 and alkanes with
double the C chain
length of substrate
alkane can also be
formed

in the dark

Combustion O2 CO2 H2O -Plentiful O2 -Produces CO under
limited combustion

Smaller alkenes (+ -No O2 -Higher temperature,
Cracking alkanes) (H2) -Heat proportion of alkenes +
-Al2O3 cat.
