Why do organic compounds undergo halogenation much more often than inorganic compounds?
Are you sure that they do?
Organic compounds are generally rather inert. It is hard to manipulate an alkane, and often the first step is to introduce a halide by radical halogenation. On the other hand, inorganic compounds TEND to be a bit more reactive, and offer a greater range of oxidation states, which chemistry may allow direct halogenation (without all that tedious mucking about with UV light).

Organic compounds undergo halogenation more often than inorganic compounds due to the presence of carbon-carbon double or triple bonds, providing reactive sites for halogenation reactions.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
