Please help !!!!!!!!

1) Write the equation for the reaction between the hydrocarbon and bromine using fully displayed formulae for the hydrocarbon and the organic product.

2) The reaction between methane and bromine gas in the presence of UV light also causes the bromine to lose color.

(a) Write an equation for this reaction

(b) This reaction is described as a substitution reaction. whereas the reaction between X and bromine is an addition reaction. Using the equations you have already written , explain the difference between addition and substitution

1) CH2 (gas) + Br (solid) -> BrC (solid) + H2 (gas)
2) a) CH4 + Br2 -> CH3Br + HBr
2) b) methane + bromine is substitution because one hydrogen atom from methane is replaced by one bromine atom. addition reaction takes place when one molecule combines with another to form a larger molecule so therefore a molecule from X and bromine combine to form XBr.
