The document describes alkyl halides (haloalkanes). It discusses their classification based on the number of halogen atoms present, as well as based on the class of carbon. It provides examples of monohaloalkanes, dihaloalkanes and trihaloalkanes. The document also discusses common and IUPAC nomenclature of haloalkanes, isomerism, general methods of preparation from alkanes, alkenes and alcohols. It describes the physical and chemical properties of haloalkanes including their reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.
3. CLASSIFICATION
According to the number of halogen present
• Mono Haloalkane
Example: CH3-CH2-X [Where X can be Cl, F, Br or I]
• Dihaloalkane
Example: X-CH2-CH2-X, CH2X2 [Where X can be Cl, F, Br or I]
• Trihaloalkane
Example: X-CH2-CHX-CH2-X, CHX3 [Where X can be Cl, F, Br or I]
11. TO GIVE IUPAC NAME
You ask yourself !
•What is word root?
•What is primary suffix?
•What is secondary suffix?
•What are prefixes?
•What are their positions?
16. GENERAL METHODS OF PREPARATION
From alkane
R − H + Cl2
sunlight
R − Cl + HCl
CH3CH3 + Cl2
sunlight
CH3CH2Cl + HCl
Bromination is like chlorination.
Iodination is reversible
R − H + I2 ⇋ R − I + HI
To make irreversible
HI + HIO3 → H2O + I2
30. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
•State: Except chloromethane (B.P. -240), haloalkanes are sweet-
smelling liquids.
•Solubility:
•Boiling point:
•Hydrogen bonding:
•Hydrogen should be attached to NOF
•Near to that hydrogen there should be NOF in the same or
different molecule.
31. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
•State: Except chloromethane (B.P. -240), haloalkanes are sweet-
smelling liquids.
•Solubility: They are insoluble in water because they could not
make hydrogen bond with water, but they are soluble in non-
polar solvents.
•Boiling point: RI > RBr > RCl
𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑙 < 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝐻2 𝐶𝑙 < 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝐻2 𝐶𝐻2 𝐶𝑙
𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝐻2 𝐶𝐻2 𝐶𝑙 >
32. • Increase in molecular mass increase the boiling
point.
• Boiling point of covalent molecule depends upon
van der Waals force of attraction (which in turn
depends upon molecular size).
• Increase in van der Waals force of attraction
increase the boiling point.
• For isomers boiling point decrease on branching.
42. CONVERT
•Methane into ethanoic acid
•Methane into ethanamide
•Methane into ethanamine
•Ethane into propanamide

• A (chloromethane) react with alcoholic KCN to produce
ethanenitrile (B)
• CH3Cl + KCN → CH3CN
ethanenitrile
+ KCl
• Ethanenitrile (B) on complete hydrolysis produce ethanoic
acid.
44. •An organic compound A react with chlorine in
presence of sunlight to produce B. B react with
KCN to produce C which on complete
hydrolysis produce propanamine. What is A?
