Experiment D: Relative Ease of Free Radical Bromination Loréal Williams June 20, 2016 Abstract Experiment D: Relative Ease of Free Radical Bromination involved a series of radical bromination. In order to undergo a reaction, each of the alkanes used in the experiment required another reagent that was highly reactive, Br .2The reactions also required an ultraviolet light that emitted both light and heat, allowing for the reactions to begin and continue. The observations, in regards to the reaction times, were compared to the structures of the alkanes. Once acknowledging the correlation between the rate of the reactions and the structures, an explanation regarding why the di
