What halogenoalkanes are

Classification diagram showing generic primary R-CH2-X, secondary R2CH-X, and tertiary R3C-X halogenoalkanes, with the carbon attached to X highlighted A halogenoalkane is a saturated organic compound in which at least one HHH atom in an alkane has been replaced by FFF, ClClCl, BrBrBr, or III. For a simple monohalogenoalkane, the general formula is CnH2n+1XC_nH_{2n+1}XCn​H2n+1​X.

Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel A Level Chemistry Halogenoalkanes. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
