Question
Explain the formation of alkyl halides from alkenes.
✓
Answer
i. Alkenes react with hydrogen halides (HX) like hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide and hydrogen iodide to give corresponding alkyl halides (haloalkanes). This reaction is known as hydrohalogenation of alkenes.
ii. The order of reactivity of halogen acids is HI > HBr > HCl.
ii. The order of reactivity of halogen acids is HI > HBr > HCl.
