Created by Kamran FatehAlkyl Halides Quiz Batch 07Alkyl halides, also known as haloalkanes, are organic compounds where one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane are replaced by halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, I). These compounds play a crucial role in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. Their reactivity is influenced by the type of halogen and the structure of the carbon chain.
