Question

write the first five homologous series of CH3-CH2-CL

​

Answer 1

In alkyl halides, the halogen atom is bonded within an alkyl group. They form a homologous sequence with CnH2n+1 X as defined and are then classified.

• The alkyls are classified as primary, secondary or tertiary.

• The first five homologous series of alkyl chlorides include -

1. 1 - CHLOROMETHANE

CH3-Cl

2. 1 - CHLOROETHANE

CH3-CH2-Cl

3. 1 - CHLOROPROPANE

CH3-CH2-CH2-Cl

4. 2 - CHLOROPROPANE

CH3-CH(CL)CH3

5. 1 - CHLOROBUTANE

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-Cl
