Alkyl iodides cannot be prepared directly by the halogenation of alkanes because _.
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Iodine reacts slowly
- B. Iodine reacts reversibly
- C. HI formed reduces alkyl iodide again starting material
- D. All of these
Explanation
All of the above reasons contribute to the factors which make it impossible to synthesis iodoalkanes by halogenation of alkanes.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
