Question

Mention the classification of haloalkanes on the basis of number of halogen atoms giving suitable examples.

Answer 1

Explanation:

haloalkane are classified into two Main types monohalogen derivatives and polyhalogen derivatives

polyhalogen derivatives are further classified into thto four types dihalogen,trihalogen,tetrahalogen and polyhalogen

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Haloalkanes -

Alkanes with one/more hydrogen atoms replaced by halide atom(s) are called alkyl chlorides.

# Classification -

On the basis of no of halogen atoms alkyl halides are classified as -

1. Monohaloalkanes
2. Dihaloalkanes
3. Polyhaloalkanes

Monohaloalkanes -

• Only one hydrogen atom of an alkane is replaced by an halide atom.
• For example, CH3-Cl (chloromethane)

Dihaloalkanes -

• Two hydrogen atoms of an alkane are replaced by two halide atoms.
• For example, Cl-CH2-Cl (1,2-dichloromethane)

Polyhaloalkanes -

• Three/more hydrogen atoms of an alkane are replaced by halide atoms.
• For example, CCl4 (Carbon tetrachloride)

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
