What are haloalkanes and haloarenes ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The replacement of hydrogen atom(s) in an saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon and aromatic hydrocarbon by halogen atom(s) results in the formation of alkyl halide (haloalkane) and aryl halide (haloarene), respectively.
Haloalkanes contain halogen atom(s) bonded to the `sp^(3)` hybridised carbon atom of an alkyl group whereas haloarenes contains halogen atom(s) bonded to `sp^(2)` carbon atoms(s) of an aryl group.
