Identify the reactivity order for halogens towards alkanes.
Options
- AI ₂ Br ₂ Cl ₂ F ₂
- BBr ₂ Cl ₂ F ₂ I ₂
- CF ₂ Cl ₂ Br ₂ I ₂
- DCl ₂ F ₂ Br ₂ I ₂
Correct answer
C. F ₂ Cl ₂ Br ₂ I ₂
Step-by-step solution
Due to electronegativity difference, the reactivity order for halogens towards alkanes is: F ₂ Cl ₂ Br ₂ I ₂ + I effect
