haloalkanes Flashcards
polarity of haloalkanes
polar due to dipole-dipole interactions
haloalkanes
homologous series in which at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen atom
general formula of haloalkanes
CnH2nX, only applicable if there is one halogen in the molecule
fluorine functional group name
fluoro-
functional group name chlorine
chloro-
bromine functional group name
bromo-
iodine functional group name
iodo-
how to name haloalkanes
place name of halogen functional group at start of alkanes name, if there is more than one type of halogen, list them in alphabetical order, if there is 2/3/4 identical halogens use die.tri.tetra prefixes
trend of boiling point in haloalkanes
increases as the size of the halogen atom increases as well as increases as molecular size increases
why does a larger halogen equal higher boiling pooint
larger halogens have more lectrons resulting in stronger dispersion forces
solubility trend haloalkanes
decreases as the size of the haloalkane increasesand as the halogen size increases
why does as halogen size increases solubility decreases
l;less electronegative halogen so les spolar
why does molecular size of haaloalkane result in decreases solubility
less of the molecule is polar
