Q. Which of the following statements is true for the alkyl halide?

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

The replacement of hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon, aliphatic or aromatic, by halogen atom(s) results in the formation of alkyl halide (haloalkane) or aryl halide (haloarene). Haloalkanes contain halogen atom(s) attached to the $s p^{3}$-hybridised carbon atom of an alkyl group. The $C -X$ bond in the haloalkanes is polar.
