Since halogens are an electron withdrawing group, do they make the the hydrocarbon more acidic, AKA does the C-H bond gets weaker after halogenation? However, C-X bond is the weakest since the alkyl halide won't undergo a second halogenation. I would think that the EW group would make the compound more acidic, the strength of C-H bond would decrease and C would lose a H easier, but it loses the halogen easier, why is that?
