As we learnt

 

Preparation of haloalkane by free radical halogenation of Alkanes -

 

Alkanes undergo free radical substitution reaction when treated Cl2/Br2 in presence of sunlight.

- wherein

CH_{4}+Cl_{2}\rightarrow CH_{3}Cl+HCl

 

 Tertiary radical>Secondary radical> Primary radical in stability accounts for the order of rate of reaction.
