What is the order of reactivity of halogens towards alkanes?
Options
- AF 2 > Cl 2 > Br 2 > I 2
- BI 2 > Br 2 > Cl 2 > F 2
- CCl 2 > F 2 > Br 2 > I 2
- DBr2 > I 2 > Cl 2 > F 2
Correct answer
A. F 2 > Cl 2 > Br 2 > I 2
Step-by-step solution
The reactivity of halogens towards alkanes follows the order: Fluorine (F 2 ) > Chlorine (Cl 2 ) > Bromine (Br 2 ) > Iodine (I 2 ).
