Question
Give reason:
Alkyl halides are generally not prepared by free radical halogenation of alkanes.

Solution
Free radical halogenation of alkanes leads to the formation of a mixture of mono and poly halogen compounds. Hence, free radical halogenation of alkanes is not suitable for the preparation of alkyl halides.
