Question 1

What are haloalkanes?

Answer 1

Compounds containing carbon hydrogen and at least one halogen

Question 2

What is aliphatic?

Answer 2

Beaches or straight hydrocarbons

Question 3

Describe the reactivity of halogens

Answer 3

Carbon-halogen bond is polar

Carbon atom has slightly positive charge so attract nucleophikes

Question 4

What kind of substitution do haloalkanes do?

Answer 4

Nucleophilic

Question 5

Wha is hydrolysis?

Answer 5

A chemical reaction involving water or an aqueous solution of a hydroxide that breaks a bond in a molecule causing it to be split into two products

Question 6

What happens in the hydrolysis of a haloalkanes?

Answer 6

The halogen atom is replaced with an OH group

Question 7

What does the rate of hydrolysis depend upon?

Answer 7

The strength of the carbon-halogen bond in the haloalkanes

Question 8

What halogen-carbon bond is the strongest?

Answer 8

C-F

Question 9

What are organohalogen compounds?

Answer 9

Molecules that contain at least one halogen atom joined to a carbon chain

Question 10

What are organohalogen compounds used in?

Answer 10

Pesticides
