Which one is monohaloalkane:
Correct answer: B. CH3CH3CH2CI
- A. CH2CI2
- B. CH3CH3CH2CI
- C. CHCI3
- D. CCI4
Explanation
Option B is correct.Monohalo alkanes have only one halogen attached to hydrocarbon chain and follow general formula CnH2n+1X. The compound CH3CH2CH2Cl is monohaloalkane.CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl is 1-chlorobutane. It has one chlorine atom bonded to a carbon atom that is bonded to three other carbon atoms.

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.
