A free-radical reaction is a chemical reaction that is abundant in organic reactions. Light is used to initiate the reaction by breaking bonds between atoms and forming radicals. Consider the bond in a chlorine molecule (Cl2) which takes 239 kJ/mol top break. Calculate the longest possible wavelength needed to initiate the reaction.
