Halogenation Reaction
~Halogenation means it is the replacement of a hydrogen atom by a halogen atom in a molecule. Halogens is the group name that is given to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine
~ it is a chemical reaction that involves the addition of one or more halogens to a compound or material or a substance.
~Halogenation of alkane is an example of radical reaction. Halogenation of alkanes is carried out in the presence of photochemical conditions.
~ Under photochemical conditions, the halogens will break homolytically and forms radical. The halogen radical will abstract hydrogen from alkanes. Now the alkyl radical can combine with alkyl radical or it can also combine with halogen radical forming alkyl radicals.
For example..
Example of Halogenation reaction:
CH₄ + Cl₂ ⇒ CH₃Cl
CH₃Cl + Cl₂ ⇒ CH₂Cl₂
CH₂Cl₂ + Cl₂ ⇒CHCl₃
CHCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇒ CC
☺Note:- In these reaction, one hydrogen atom is replaced (substituted) by a halogen atom without altering the bonds in alkane. Hence, these reactions are called substitution reaction.
