(i) 2-chloro-3-methylbutane, (2? alkyl halide)
Explanation: The Cl atom is attached with two alkyl groups therefore 2? alkyl halide.
(ii) 3-chloro-4-methylhexane (2? alkyl halide)
Explanation: The Cl atom is attached with two alkyl groups therefore 2? alkyl halide.
(iii) 1-iodo-2,2-dimethylbutane (1? alkyl halide)
Explanation: The atom I is attached with one alkyl group therefore 1? alkyl halide.
(iv) 1-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-1-phenylbutane (2? benzylic halide)
Explanation: The atom Br is attached with two alkyl groups with the benzene group therefore 2? benzylic halide.

(i) Bromocyclohexane is reacting with the metal Mg to give organo-metallic compound/Grignard reagent
i.e. Cyclohexyl Magnesium Bromide (A).
Grignard reagents are highly reactive with hydrocarbons to give alkanes. Cyclohexyl Magnesium Bromide reacts with water to cyclohexane (B) and Mg (OH)Br.

(ii) As the above reaction, haloalkane with metal Mg react to form the Grignard reagent, alkyl magnesium halide, RMgX, and further with hydrocarbon gives alkane.
∴ C is CH3CH (MgBr)CH3, a Grignard Reagent, R is CH3CH (Br)CH3 and D ≅ H

(iii) In the Wurtz Reaction, alkyl halide in the presence of sodium in dry ether gives the double number of

Reason: SN1 occurs in two steps. In the first step, carbocation forms. The rate of reaction in SN1 depends upon the stability of the carbocation, greater the stability faster the reaction. Tertiary (3°) carbocation is more stable than secondary (2°), which is further stable than primary (1°)
By using this
- Tert-Butyl Chloride (3°) reacts faster than 3-Chloropentane (2°)
- 2-Chloro heptane (2°) is more reactive than 1-Chloro hexane (1°)

In SN2 Reaction, the product will be formed in a single step with no intermediates. Nucleophile attack will be easier for simple halides than hindered haloalkanes. Therefore,

- Bromobutane (1°)reacts faster than 2-Bromobutane (2°)
- 2-Bromobutane (2°) reacts faster than 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane or tert-Butyl bromide (3°) 1-Bromo-3-methyl butane reacts faster than the 1-Bromo-2-methyl bu
- tane as the former is less hindered with respect to leaving halide than the later which is more hindered comparatively

The order of increasing boiling point is
- Chloromethane (CH3Cl)< Bromomethane (CH3Br) < Dibromomethane (CH2Br2)< Bromoform (CHBr3)
- Isopropyl chloride (C3H7Cl)< 1-Chloropropane (C3H7Cl) < 1-Chlorobutane (C4H9Cl)
Generally, boiling point increases with the molecular weight of the compound and decreases with the branching of the chain

A 10.5 1. Cyclohexanol will react with thionyl chloride to form Chlorocyclohexane with the evolution of sulphur dioxide and hydrogen chloride gas as shown below :


2. 4-Ethylnitrobenzene will undergo benzylic bromination in presence of heat or light. Now, as benzylic radicals are more stable therefore benzylic hydrogen is abstracted. Hence, the reaction yields 4-(1- Bromoethyl)nitrobenzene as a product

3. 4-Hydroxymethylphenol will react with hydrochloric acid under thermal conditions to yield 4- Chloromethylphenol a shown in the reaction below:

4. 1-Methylcyclohexene will react with hydrogen iodide via markovnikov's addition mechanism to

To have a single monochloride, there should be only one type of H-atom in the isomer of the alkane of the molecular formula C5H12. This is because of the fact that replacement of any H-atom leads to the formation of the same product. Therefore the isomer is 2,2-dimethylpropane.

To have three isomeric monochlorides, the isomer of the alkane of the molecular formula C5H12 should contain three different types of H-atoms. Therefore, the isomer is n-pentane. It can be observed that there are three types of H atoms labelled as a, b and c in n-pentane as shown below : -

To have four isomeric monochlorides, the isomer of the alkane of the molecu

In the presence of sulphuric acid (H2SO4), KI produces HI as follows : -
2KI + H2SO4 → 2KHSO4 + 2KI
Since H2SO4 is an oxidising agent, it oxidises HI (produced in the reaction to I2)
2HI + H2SO4 → I2 + SO2 +;
As a result, the reaction between an alcohol and HI to produce alkyl iodide cannot occur. Therefore, sulphuric acid is not used during the reaction of alcohols with KI. Instead, a non-oxidising acid such as H3PO4 is used in the reaction to get the desired product.
A few things you can remember here, while solving NCERT Solutions for Haloalkanes And Haloarenes.
Sulphuric acid is a powerful oxidising agent. We know this because the su

In interhalogen compound ICl and I2 the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds
Reactivity refers to the rate at which a chemical species will undergo reaction in time. For reaction to take place the compound needs to be broken into separate elements first, then the individual elements react with other elements to form new compounds. So any compound which can easily break into their individual elements can react faster.
The covalent bonds between dissimilar atoms I and Cl atoms in ICl are weaker than between similar atoms in I2. Therefore the bond between ICL will break easily so the I and Cl atom will be easily available to form another
