Give the substitution reactions of alkanes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In substitution reactions of alkanes, one or more H atoms are replaced by halogens, nitro group and sulphonic acid group.
For example, Halogenation or chlorination of methane as given below:
`CH_4+Cl_2 overset(hv)to CH_3Cl+HCl, CH_3Cl+Cl_2 overset(hv)to CH_2Cl_2+HCl`
`CH_2Cl_2+Cl_2 overset(hv)to CHCl_3+HCl, CHCl_3+Cl_2 overset(hv)to C Cl_4+HCl`
