Q. Ethylidene chloride is a /a n _______________.

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

In vic-dihalides, halogen atoms are present on the adjacent carbon atoms.

In gem-dihalides, halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom. They are known as alkylidene halides.

In allylic halides, halogen atom is bonded to $sp^3$ hybridised carbon atom next to carbon-carbon double bond

In vinylic halides, halogen atom is bonded to $sp^2$ hybridised carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond.
