  1. During the reaction hydrogen atom is eliminated from the $\beta$ - carbon atom.
  2. Rate of reaction for same alkyl group; Iodine $>$ Bromine $>$ Chlorine
  3. Rate of reaction; $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}ight)_{3} \mathrm{C}->\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}ight)_{2} \mathrm{CH}->\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2}-$
  4. Only nature of halogen atom determine rate of the reaction.
