Alkyl Halide Reactions. The functional group of alkyl halides is a carbon-halogen bond, the common halogens being fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. With the exception of iodine, these halogens have electronegativities significantly greater than carbon.
Its been said that most car companies make it so where airbags deploy based on the impact. It is said that the airbag will not deploy until the impact generates 7 G's of force. For most vehicles that speed is equivalent to hitting an object at 12 mph or hitting another vehicle at 25 to 30 mph. It is dependent upon the impact of the crash.

A rapid reaction occurs, generating nitrogen gas (N 2). This gas fills a nylon or polyamide bag at a velocity of 150 to 250 miles per hour. This process, from the initial impact of the crash to full inflation of the airbags, takes only about 40 milliseconds (Movie 1).Ideally, the body of the driver (or passenger) should not hit the airbag while it is still inflating.he road from that idea to the airbags we have today has been long, and it has involved many turnabouts in the vision for what airbags would be expected to do. Today, airbags are mandatory in new cars and are designed to act as a supplemental safety device in addition to a seat belt.
