Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with the preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds are said to be
Primary alkyl halide has one carbon bonded to the carbon atom that is bonded with halogen atom. Secondary alkyl halide has two carbons bonded to the same carbon atom bonded with the halogen. A tertiary alkyl halide has three carbons bonded to the same carbon atom bonded with the halogen atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The following alkyl halide should be classified as primary, secondary and tertiary:
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with the preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds are said to be organic chemistry. The molecular formula of an organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols. The structural formula represents all the bonded atoms with chemical bonds and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule.
Primary alkyl halide has one carbon bonded to the carbon atom that is bonded with a halogen atom. Secondary alkyl halide has two carbons bonded to the same carbon atom bonded with the halogen. A tertiary alkyl halide has three carbons bonded to the same carbon atom bonded with the halogen atom.
(c)
Interpretation:
The following alkyl halide should be classified as primary, secondary and tertiary:
