In tertiary alkyl halides, the carbon atom is attached to how many carbon atoms?
Correct answer: B. 3
- A. 2
- B. 3
- C. 4
- D. 1
Explanation
There are three types of alkyl halides: primary, secondary, and tertiary. In primary alkyl halides, the carbon atom bonded to halogen is connected to 1 other carbon and 2 hydrogens. In secondary alkyl halides, the carbon atom bonded to halogen is connected to 2 other carbons and 1 hydrogen. In tertiary alkyl halides, the carbon atom bonded to halogen is connected to "3" other carbons and no hydrogens. So, the correct answer is option B.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
