The alkyl halides that can be made by free radical halogenation of alkanes are `:`

A

`RCl` and `RBr` but not `RF` or `RI`

B

`RF, RCl` and `RBr` but not `RI`

C

`RF, RCl, RBr, RI`

D

`RF, RCl and RI` but not `RBr`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`F^(*)` (free radical) being highly reactive will give mixture of fluorides.
`I^(*)` radical prefer forming `I_(2)` & the side product HI reduces RI back to alkanes.
