Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Molecular formula for all the possible halogenated products from fluorination of methane has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Alkanes are not completely inert. Two important reactions that alkanes undergo are combustion and halogenation.
Combustion reaction is the one where reaction occurs between substance and oxygen which proceeds with evolution of light and heat. Due to the heat produced when alkanes are made to undergo combustion with oxygen, it is used as fuel.
Halogenation is a
Halogenation reaction of alkane is an example of substitution reaction. This is a reaction where a part of reacting molecule replaces an atom or group of atoms in hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon derivative.
Cycloalkanes are also similar to those of alkanes. Cycloalkanes also undergo combustion and halogenation reaction.
