Answer 2

The  following is a secondary alkyl halide

(4 ) Isopropyl chloride​

Explanation:

Alkyl halide

It is also called as haloalkane .

Its general formula is R-X .

For example : CH₃Cl

Depending upon the number of alkyl groups attached , it is classified as :

• Primary
• Secondary
• Tertiary

Primary alkyl halide

In this only  one alkyl group  is present that is : CH₃CH₂Cl

Secondary alkyl halide

In this two alkyl groups are present : CH₃-CHCl-CH₃

Tertiary alkyl halide

In this three alkyl group are present :CH₃-C(CH₃)₂-CH₃

Now in above asked question , Isopropyl that is CH₃-CHCl-CH₃ , is secondary alkyl halide .
