    • In an alkyl halide, a carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms is prefixed with "sec-" (short for secondary).
    • Using the common naming system, CH3CHClCH3 is named 1-chloropropane.
    • In the common naming system, the prefix 'iso-' indicates a branch in the carbon chain, specifically a methyl group (CH3) attached to the second carbon atom.
    • The correct common name for the alkyl halide CH3CHClCH2CH3 is 2-chlorobutane.
