Q.

Which of the statements is/are true about the reactivity of halogenation of alkanes? The reactivity order is F2>Cl2>Br2>I2I. Lower the activation energy for the chain initiation step, more reactive is the halogen.II. Lower the activation energy for the first chain propagation step, more reactive is the halogen.III. More negative is the overall heat of the reaction ΔHr∘ of halogenation of alkane, more reactive is the halogen.fV. Lower the activation energy for the second chain propagation step, more reactive is the halogen.

Detailed Solution

There are two factors that determine the reactivity of the halogenation of alkanes.Lesser the positive value of Eact, of the first chain propagating step, more reactive is the halogen.Higher the negative value of overall heat of reaction ΔHr∘, more reactive is the halogen. This explains high reactivity and explosive violence with which F2 reacts with CH4.
