    The alkyl halides that can be made by free radical halogenation of alkanes are

    A) \[RCl,\] and \[RBr\] but not RF or \[RI\]

    B) \[RF,RCl\] and \[R\,Br\] but not \[RI\]

    C) \[RF,\text{ }RCl,\text{ }RBr,\text{ }RI\]

    D) \[RF,RCl\]and \[RI\]but \[RBr\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[RCl\]and \[~RBr\] can be prepared by free radical halogenation of alkanes while RF and \[RI\] cannot be prepared. With \[{{F}_{2}},\] the reaction is not only explosive but also brings cleavage of C?C bonds while with \[{{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}}\] the reaction is too slow to be of any practical value.
