How are alkyl halides (or monohalogen derivatives ) classified ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Alkyl halides are classified as follows:(1) PRIMARY (`1^(@)`) alkyl halide : It is an alkyl halide in which one halogen atom is BONDED to a primary`(1^(@)`)carbon atom , which is attached to only one other carbon atom . E.g. `CH_(3)-OVERSET(1^(@))CH_(2)-Cl`(ethyl chloride) (2) : Secondary `(2^(@))` alkyl halide : It is an alkyl halide in which one hlogen atom is bonded to a secondary `(2^(@))` carbon, which is attached to TWO other carbon atoms.E.g. `CH_(3)-underset(Br)underset(|)overset(2^(@))CH-CH_(3)` (isopropyl BROMIDE) (3): Tertiary `(3^(@))`alkyl halide : It is an alkyl halide in which one halogen atom is bonded to a tertiary `(3^(@))` carbon atom which is attached to three other carbon atoms. E.g. `CH_(3)-""^(3^(@))underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-Br` tert -butyl bromide |
