Alkanes undergo free radical halogenation when treated with halogens in the presence of light. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
Ref: NCERT Chemistry Textbook for Class XI and XII, Chapter: Some Basic Concepts, Structure of Atom, Periodicity and relevant Chemistry topic, Topic: Mole concept and periodic trends.
Reactivity in free radical halogenation decreases with bond strength: F₂ > Cl₂ > Br₂ > I₂ .
