Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Structures**: - Begin by recognizing the basic structures of haloarenes and haloalkanes. Haloarenes contain a halogen atom (X) attached to a benzene ring, while haloalkanes consist of a halogen atom attached to an aliphatic carbon chain. 2. **Resonance in Haloarenes**: - In haloarenes, the presence of the halogen atom allows for resonance. The lone pairs of electrons on the halogen can interact with the π-electrons of the benzene ring. This interaction leads to the delocalization of electrons, creating multiple resonance structures. ...
