Halogenoalkanes

What are halogena alkanes?

• Compounds with one or more halogens replacing hydrogen in alkanes

• Compounds with metals and non-metals

• Compounds with only carbon and hydrogen

• Compounds with only oxygen and nitrogen

Which prefix is used for a fluorine attached to a halogena alkane?

• Fluoro

• Nitro

• Oxy

• Hydro

How do you determine the numbering of carbons in halogeno alkanes?

• By ensuring halogens have the lowest possible numbers

• By the number of oxygens

• By the number of hydrogens

• By the number of nitrogens

What is a primary halogenoalkane (haloalkane) ?

• A halogena alkane with a halogen attached to a carbon bonded to two other carbons

• A halogena alkane with a halogen attached to a carbon bonded to three other carbons

• A halogena alkane with a halogen attached to a carbon bonded to one other carbon

• A halogena alkane with a halogen attached to a carbon bonded to four other carbons

What happens to the polarity of halogenoalkanes as the carbon chain increases?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It becomes acidic

• It stays the same
