The reaction of propane with bromine is called?
Correct answer: A. Halogenation
- A. Halogenation
- B. Addition
- C. Elimination
- D. Combustion
Explanation
Halogenation is the correct term for the reaction of propane with bromine. It involves the substitution of hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon molecule with halogen atoms, such as bromine. Addition, elimination, and combustion are not applicable in this context because the reaction specifically involves the substitution of hydrogen with bromine, not addition, elimination, or combustion.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
