Question:

Trifluoroiodomethane undergoes an addition to alkenes in the presence of light by a free-radical chain mechanism.CHCHCHCH=CH + CF3I light CHCHCHCH-CH-CF3 I

The initiation step of this reaction is the light-induced homolysis of the C—I bond:F3C light F3C + I

Using the fishhook notation, write the propagation steps of a free-radical chain mechanism for this reaction.
