good evening frnds~..what is the difference between halo Alkene and Arene??
Answers
Answer:
Unsaturated non-cyclic hydrocarbons are called alkenes whereas cyclic hydrocarbons with sigma bonds and some π- bonds are Arenes.
Hope this clears your confusion.
Have a wonderful day . :)
Haloalkanes and haloarenes are the hydrocarbons in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced with halogen atoms. The primary difference between haloalkanes and haloarenes is that haloalkanes are derived from open-chain hydrocarbons (alkanes) whereas haloarenes are derived from aromatic hydrocarbons.
Haloalkanes are commonly referred to as alkyl halides whereas haloarenes are commonly referred to as aryl halides.
Generally, the halogens are attached to sp3 hybridized carbon atoms in these compounds. The presence of halogens makes haloalkanes and haloarenes more chemically reactive than the parent alkanes and aromatic compounds. These compounds have many medicinal uses as well.
