Question
How do halogens react with other solvents and with hydrocarbons?
✓
Answer
- Halogens are soluble in various organic solvents such as chloroform, carbon disulphide and carbon tetrachloride
- All halogens react with hydrocarbons and form mono or multisubstituted compounds.
- The reactivity decreases down the group from fluorine to iodine.
