⏯️⏯️Halogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the addition of one or more halogens to a compound or material.

⏯️⏯️lkanes (the most basic of all organic compounds) undergo very few reactions. One of these reactions is halogenation, or the substitution of a single hydrogen on the alkane for a single halogen to form a haloalkane. This reaction is very important in organic chemistry because it opens a gateway to further chemical reactions.

The reaction of a halogen with an alkane in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) light or heat leads to the formation of a haloalkane (alkyl halide). The mechanism of the reaction explains this phenomenon. Halogenation mechanism. In the methane molecule, the carbon‐hydrogen bonds are low‐polarity covalent bonds.

hope it helps..
