Nomenclature of Alkyl Halides

Science > Chemistry > Halogen Derivatives of Alkanes > Nomenclature of Alkyl Halides In this article, we shall study isomerism in alkyl halides and their nomenclature. Isomerism in Haloalkanes:  Isomers are the organic compounds, which have the same molecular formula but different structural formula and properties. The phenomenon is called isomerism. Haloalkanes can exhibit the following […]

Introduction to Halogen Derivatives of Alkanes

Science > Chemistry > Organic Chemistry > Halogen Derivatives of Alkanes > Introduction In this article, we shall study halogen derivatives of alkanes or haloalkanes. Organic Compounds Containing Halogens:  If one or more hydrogen atom is replaced in hydrocarbon by an equivalent number of halogen, the compounds obtained are called halogen derivatives of hydrocarbons. Halogen […]
