EXERCISESD What are alkyl halides? How are they classified? |
Answer» <p>Alkyl halides(also known as haloalkanes) are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine). Alkyl halides are formally derived from alkanesby exchanging hydrogen for halogen (fluorine,chlorine,bromine, andiodine). Depending on the degree of substitution at thecarbon atomcarrying the halogen, alkyl halides are classified into primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl halides.</p> | |
