False; it reacts so that they acquire the electron structure of a noble gas.

A compound containing one or more of the halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) but mainly hydrogen and carbon.
An alkane. Hence the name alkyl. An alkane is a chain of carbon atoms bonded to each other with single bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling the remainder of the bonds. One hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen to form an alkyl halide.
*whyHydrogen atoms have only one electron, to fill its outer electron shell it needs one more. (This is an exception to the octet rule.) The elements found in the Halogen family have seven electrons in their outer shell and need one more to fill it (these follow the octet rule).Both Hydrogen and Halogens have similar bonding properties since they all need only one more electron; they can form one single-bond with another atom. If a hydrogen atom is moved then a Halogen is readily able to take its place.For example: Any alkane compound obtained by replacing every hydrogen atom of a halogen is called a perhaloalkane.
Halogen derivatives of alkanes are also called alkyl halides. They are of different types and are classified depending on the no of halogen atoms in the molecule of the alkyl halide.Basically, they are formed by replacing one or more H atoms in the organic molecule. The number of H atoms forms the types of the alkyl halides....It's a very vast topic for 12th and it can even kill you...
halogen family
Trihalomethanes are chemical compounds in which three of the four hydrogen atoms of methane (CH4) are replaced by halogen atoms.Trihalomethanes (THMs) often occur in drinking water as a result of chlorine treatment for disinfectant purposes.
substituted hydrocarbon
A halon is a term given to any of a class of chemical compounds that are derived from hydrocarbons by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with bromine atoms and other hydrogen atoms with a halogen (chlorine, fluorine, etc) atom.
