Iodine

(I_(2))

does not react with ethane, even though

I_(2)

is more easly cleaved homolyfically than the other halogens. Explain. Removing a hydrogen atom from ethane by an lodine radical is a highly endothermie reaction. The ethyl radical is not stable enough. Removing a pydrogen atom from ethane by an iodine radical is a highly exothermic maction.

C-H
