Which radicals do you can develop from propane? Which is the more stable radical?
Then do a recombination of them.

You misunderstood it.
How is bromination as radicals process takes place using propane instead of methane. Here there are no methyl or ethyl radicals.

You skipped some CH2 groups, but generally on the right Track.
You get only two kind of Propyl, no Ethyl.

This could be one result, but it's not in the solution.
Why not have a radical on the second C.
Are primary radicals more stable as secundary radicals?

Is this correct now? The first compound in the solution cannot be formed, am I right?
