Which of the following statements about the inductive effect is correct?
| 1. | The inductive effect transfers electrons from one carbon atom to another. |
| 2. | The inductive effect operates in both \(\sigma\)- and \(\pi\)-bonds. |
| 3. | The inductive effect does not create any charge in the molecule. |
| 4. | The inductive effect creates partial charges and is distance-dependent. |
| 1. | Free radicals, carbonium ions, or carbanions are reaction intermediates. |
| 2. | The reaction between methane and chlorine in the presence of sunlight proceeds via free radicals. |
| 3. | The electronegative atom in the carbon chain produces the +I effect. |
| 4. | Homolytic fission of C-C bonds gives free radicals. |
