The replacement of hydrogen atom(s) in an aliphaticor aromatic hydrocarbon by halogen atom(s) resultsin the formation of alkyl halide (haloalkane) and arylhalide (haloarene), respectively

Haloalkanes containhalogen atom(s) attached to the sp3 hybridised carbonatom of an alkyl group whereas haloarenes containhalogen atom(s) attached to sp2 hybridised carbonatom(s) of an aryl group. Many halogen containingorganic compounds o

In alkyl halides, the halogen atom is bonded to an alkyl group (R).They form a homologous series represented by CnH2n+1X. They arefurther classified as primary, secondary or tertiary according to thenature of carbon to which halogen is attached. If halogen is attached toa primary carbon atom in an alkyl halide, the alkyl halide is calledprimary alkyl halide or 1° alkyl halide. Similarly, if halogen is attachedto secondary or tertiary carbon atom, the alkyl halide is calledsecondary alkyl halide (2°) and tertiary (3°) alkyl halide, respectively.

Provide an example of a haloalkane undergoing dehydrohalogenation to form an alkene.
