Haloalkanes Flashcards
1
Q
What are haloalkanes?
A
Group 7 elements bonded to an Alkane
2
Q
What is the general formula for Haloalkane
A
CnH2n+1X
3
Q
What are the 3 types of Haloalkanes?
A
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
4
Q
Why do haloalkanes have a higher boiling point than alkanes with equivalent number of carbons?
A
Haloalkanes have permanent dipole-dipole within halogen bonds,whereas alkanes only have lodnon dispersion forces
5
Q
What is the trend when Halogens down the group are bonded to the alkanes?
A
There is an increase in boiling point because the number of electrons increase in the shells
6
Q
Are Haloalkanes soluble in water?
A
Theyare soluble in water, because they are polar
