Identify the initiation step \(/ \mathrm{s}(\mathrm{X})\) and termination \(\mathrm{step} / \mathrm{s}(\mathrm{Y})\) of free radical chlorination of \(\mathrm{CH}_4\) from the following.
a) \(\dot{\mathrm{C}}_3+\dot{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{l} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{Cl}\)
b) \(\dot{\mathrm{Cl}}+\dot{\mathrm{C}} l \rightarrow \mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{Cl}\)
c) \(\dot{\mathrm{C}}_3+\mathrm{Cl}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{Cl}+\dot{\mathrm{Cl}}\)
d) \(\mathrm{Cl}_2 \rightarrow 2 \dot{\mathrm{Cl}}\)
e) \(\mathrm{CH}_4+\dot{\mathrm{Cl}} \rightarrow \dot{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3+\mathrm{HCl}\)
f) \(\mathrm{CH}_3+\dot{\mathrm{C}}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_3\)
