Number of monohalogen products of alkane depends upon the number of different types of replaceable hydrogen atoms in the alkane.

The reactivity of halogens is in the order $F_{2} > C l_{2} > B r_{2} > I_{2}$

For a given halogen the reactivity of hydrocarbon is in the order of $3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ}$

Bromine is less reactive than chlorine towards a particular alkane

On chlorination monosubstituted product is formed while on bromination disubstituted products are formed
