Jan 23, 2023 · The haloalkanes, also known as alkyl halides, are a group of chemical compounds comprised of an alkane with one or more hydrogens replaced by a halogen atom (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine).
The replacement of only one hydrogen atom gives an alkyl halide (or haloalkane) so the nomenclature system is closely related to the system for alkanes. The common names of alkyl halides consist of two parts: the name of the alkyl group plus the stem of the name of the halogen, with the ending -ide.
Haloalkanes are a family of compounds which have had one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane replaced by a halogen atom. There are three types of haloalkanes: primary, secondary and tertiary haloalkanes.
The replacement of hydrogen atom(s) in hydrocarbon, aliphatic or aromatic, by halogen atom(s) results in the formation of alkyl halide (haloalkane) and aryl halide (haloarene), respectively.

Haloalkane or alkyl halides are the compounds which have the general formula "RX" where R is an alkyl or substituted alkyl group and X is a halogen (F, Cl, Br, I). Haloalkanes have been known for centuries. Chloroethane was produced in the 15th century.

Jan 9, 2024 · Haloalkanes and Haloarenes Class 12 Notes Chemistry Chapter 10 1. Haloalkanes are classified as fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo compounds according to the type of halogen present and as mono-, di- tri-, tetra- haloalkanes, etc., according to the one, two, three, four, etc., halogen atoms respectively present in their molecule.
