Alkane mainly shows free radical substitution reaction. Free radical is electrically neutral species having one unpaired electron. All the reaction of alkane involves homolytic fission in presence of light energy. The reaction is exothermic. The reactivity of the halogen is F_(2) gt Cl_(2) gt Br_(2) gt I_(2). More the reactivity of halogen less the selectivity for reaction with free radical. the stability of free radical depends on hyperconjugation. the order is ter>sec>prim>CH_(3)^(**). Breaking a tertiary C-H bond requires the least energy and breaking of primary C-H bond require the most. Q. 2-chlorophenothane on halogenation with chlorine give products gives 2,3, dichloropentane. what will the structure of free radical form in reaction ?
