To maximize the formation of monohalogenated product, a radical substitution reaction must be carried out in the presence of excess alkane. For example, when a large excess of methane is used, the product is almost completely methyl chloride (chloromethane). 

Their toxicity hazard are given. by Sax (Ref 2). Balis et al (Ref 1) have detd flammability data and established the critical oxygen content i.e, the O content below which flame propagation is not possible in a gaseous atm, no matter what its chlorosilane content. A summary of these data establishing this critical O content for 4 chlorosilanes for methyl chloride (chloromethane, qv) by means of a modified BurMines - App is given above ... 

But we start with a compound that is so simple that it has only one conformation because it has no rotatable bonds dichloromethane. You may have wondered why it is that, while methyl chloride (chloromethane) is a reactive electrophile that takes part readily in substitution reactions, dichloromethane is so unreactive that it can be used as a solvent in which substitution reactions of. other alkyl halides take place. You may think that this is a steric effect indeed, Cl is bigger than H. But CH2CI2 is much less reactive as an electrophile than ethyl chloride or propyl chloride there must be more to its unreactivity. And there is dichloromethane benefits from a sort of permanent anomeric effect . One lone pair of each chlorine is always anti-periplanar to the other C-Cl bond so that there is always stabilization from this effect.

The total U.S. production of chloromethanes is over 0 9 Mt per annum. Chloroform (trichloromethane) and carbon tetrachloride (tetrachloro-methane) are precursors for fluorocarbons their elimination from the aerosol can market has been partially offset by increased use as refrigerants and intermediates for fluoroplastics. Methylene dichloride (dichloromethane) has picked up some of the aerosol business, and is used in paint removal and degreasing. Methyl chloride (chloromethane) is used for silicones and the waning production of tetramethyl lead.
