Chain propagation (propagation): A free radical reaction mechanism step having radical reactant(s) and gives radical product(s).
What happens in propagation step?
The propagation phase describes the 'chain' part of chain reactions. Once a reactive free radical is generated, it can react with stable molecules to form new free radicals. ... Chain termination occurs when two free radical species react with each other to form a stable, non-radical adduct.
