Question 1

Halogination

Answer 1

Alkanes reaction with X2

High temperature or hv (energy of photon ultraviolet) needed as a high source of energy

Chlorination and bromination

CH4 + X2 = CH3X + HX

Question 2

Homokytic bonds

Answer 2

Binds cleaved where both sides get treated the same (get 1 electron each)

Two sides are called radicals, very réactive

During halogénation, most stable radical is made

Radical removes the hydrogen that would produce the radical of highest degree (more stable)

Tertiary radicals are the most stable
