Halogenation is a type of free radical substitution reaction. A free radical intermediate is formed in the reaction. Formation of free radical is the rate determining step. As radical on a 3° carbon is more stable than 2° carbon ( due to hyper conjugation effect), order of rate of reaction is 3°C > 2°C > 1°C.
