So, bromine is less reactive, and more selectrive whereas chlorine is less selective and more reactive.   The relative rate of abstraction of hydrogen by `Br^(**)` is    `underset(1600)(3^(@)) gt underset(82)(2^(@)) gt underset(1)(1^(@))`   `underset(5)(3^(@)) gt underset(3.8)(2^(@)) gt underset(1)(1^(@))`   img src="https://d10lpgp6xz60nq.cloudfront.net/physics_images/MSC_ORG_CHM_C04A_E01_058_Q01.png" width="80%"   What is the value of x (% yield of product)
