The reaction of halogens with alkanes in the presence of sunlight is an example of
- oxidation reaction
- addition reaction
- hydrogenation reaction
-
substitution reaction
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Alkanes undergoes substitution reaction and it is an example of halogenation substitution reaction.
Reaction of halogen with alkane in the presence of sunlight (ultraviolet) is termed halogenation. Halogenation is an example of substitution reaction. In addition, alkanes only undergo substitution reaction but not addition reaction.
