Acidity and Chemical Reactivity of Alkyl Halides Quiz

Primary = Least reactive Secondary = Moderately reactive Tertiary = Highly reactive Quaternary = No reactivity

Methyl iodide = Lowest boiling point and melting point Ethyl bromide = Moderate boiling point and melting point Isopropyl chloride = Higher boiling point and melting point Tert-butyl fluoride = Highest boiling point and melting point

Methyl chloride = Slightly soluble in water Ethyl bromide = Insoluble in water Isopropyl fluoride = Partially soluble in water Tert-butyl iodide = Very low solubility in water
