What you learn in Theory:
Halogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the reaction of a compound, usually an organic compound, with a halogen.
What you learn in Practice:
The pathway and stoichiometry of halogenation depends on the structural features and functional groups of the organic substrate as well as the halogen. Inorganic compounds, for example. Metals also undergo halogenation.
