Elimination of a halogen atom together with a hydrogen atom from an alkyl halide produces:
Correct answer: B. Alkenes
- A. Alkanes
- B. Alkenes
- C. Alkynes
- D. Alcohols
Explanation
This is β-elimination reaction which involves removal of X from α-C and removal of β-H from β-C H X | |-C-C- +KOH → -C=C- +KX+H2O | | | | Dehalogenation is removal of X from α -C and β -H from β -C.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
