Answer 2

Answer : The given equation represents "Substitution reaction" of alkanes

Explanation :

The given reaction is,

`CH_(4)+ Br_(2)\rightarrow CH_(3)Br + HBr`

To find out the type of reaction, we need to look at the reactants and products involved in the reaction

CH₄ is an alkane known as methane and Br₂ is bromine which belongs to halogen family.

During the reaction , we can see that one of the H atoms of methane is substituted by Br to form a product CH₃Br.

Therefore this is a "substitution reaction of alkanes" Since a hydrogen atom gets replaced by a halogen atom, it is also termed as "halogenation of alkanes"
