Question

what are alkyli halides?give their classification

Answer 1

Alkyl halides are formally derived from alkanes by exchanging hydrogen for halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine). Depending on the degree of substitution at the carbon atom carrying the halogen, alkyl halides are classified into primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl halides.

Answer 2

Alkyl halides (also known as haloalkanes) are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine).
