Detailed Solution
In alkanes, only C-H and C-C bonds are present. The difference in the electronegativity is zero between carbon atoms and negligibly small between carbon and hydrogen. They have the greatest tendency to form free radicals under appropriate conditions. Since they are saturated they undergo substitution reactions most readily.Thus Alkanes undergo free radical substitution reactions.
