Nature of C-X Bond
Nature of C-X Bond
X is more electronegative than carbon. So, the C-X bond is polarized with C having a partial positive charge and X...
Nomenclature of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
The common names of alkyl halides are derived by naming the alkyl group followed by the halide. Alkyl halides are named as halo-substituted hydrocarbons...
Introduction & Classification of Haloalkanes
In aliphatic or aromatic compounds, the replacement of hydrogen atom(s) by halogen atom(s) results in the formation of alkyl halide (haloalkane) and aryl halide...
