• A. The reactivity of halogens is in the order $F_{2} > Cl_{2} > Br_{2} > I_{2}$
• B. For a given halogen the reactivity of hydrocarbon is in the order of $3^{0} > 2^{0} > 1^{0}$
• C. Bromine is less reactive than chlorine towards a particular alkane.
• D. On chlorination monosubstituted product is formed while on bromination disubstituted products are formed.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

On chlorination monosubstituted product is formed while on bromination disubstituted products are formed.
