Question
During halogenation of alkanes the halogens and alkane show a specific trend. Which of the following statements is not correct?
A.
The reactivity of halogens is in the order $${F_2} > C{l_2} > B{r_2} > {I_2}.$$
B.
For a given halogen the reactivity of hydrocarbon is in the order of $${3^ \circ } > {2^ \circ } > {1^ \circ }.$$
C.
Bromine is less reactive than chlorine towards a particular alkane.
D.
On chlorination monosubstituted product is formed while on bromination disubstituted products are formed.
Answer :
On chlorination monosubstituted product is formed while on bromination disubstituted products are formed.
Solution :
Number of monohalogen products of alkane depends upon the number of different types of replaceable hydrogen atoms in the alkane.
