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.

Working as a supplemental restraint system to the vehicle's seat-belt systems, airbag module deployments are triggered through a pyrotechnic process that is designed to be used once. Newer side-impact airbag modules consist of compressed air cylinders that are triggered in the event of a side on vehicle impact.
