What is the general formula for haloalkanes? (X=halogen atom, n = 1, 2, 3…)(a) CnH2nX(b) CnH2n+1X(c) CnH2n-1X(d) CnH2n-3XI got this question in an online interview.The question is from Haloalkanes Classification topic in division Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (b) CnH2n+1X

The explanation: The GENERAL formula for haloalkanes is CnH2n+1X where X is a halogen ATOM and n = 1, 2, 3… The formulae CnH2n-1X and CnH2n-3X are that of haloalkenes and haloalkynes respectively.
