Solution:

Primary halides are the compounds on which the halide ion is attached to the primary carbon. This can be seen in 1-Bromo but-2-ene. Secondary halides are the compounds in which the halide ion is attached to the secondary carbon that is in 4 -Bromopent.2-ene. Tertiary halides are the compounds in which the halide ion is attached to a tertiary carbon. This can be seen in 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane.
