What are the conditions for the halogenation of carbonyl compounds?
Carbonyl compounds can be halogenated through either base or acid catalysis, although a difference in products can be expected; acid catalysis is more likely to produce alpha-monohalogenated carbonyl compounds (although polyhalogenation is also possible with acid), and base is more likely to produce a polyhalogenated alpha carbonyl compound. Halogenation occurs through an enolate/enol intermediate (base or acid respectively). In the case of basic halogenation an enolate is formed at the alpha position of the carbonyl carbon. The enolate (nucleohile) then attacks the halogen (Br2, Cl2, I2-typically not F2) since the halogen molecule acts as a polarized electrophile. The monohalogenated product is now more reactive than the unhalogenated reactant since the electron withdrawing halogen makes any alpha protons remaining even more acidic and susceptible to abstraction via base to create another enolate, and the process can be repeated.

Why are oxgen atoms neutral?
oxygen atoms are neutral because it has the same number of electrons and protons, which is what makes an atom neutral. oxygen does react with some substances. pure oxygen reacts with fire Oxygen atoms are not neutral they are very reactive. Oxygen molecules are less reactive than lone atoms but as still highly reactive.
Are halogens more reactive than actinides?
No actinides are more reactive
Is silver more reactive than platinum?
