Correct answer: A. Primary alkyl halide
- A. Primary alkyl halide
- B. None of these
- C. Secondary alkyl halide
- D. Tertiary alkyl halide

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.
