    Study Notes

    Characteristics of Haloalkanes

    • Haloalkanes are organic compounds containing at least one halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, I) bonded to an alkyl group.
    • They are generally polar molecules due to the electronegativity of the halogen atom, affecting their solubility and reactivity.
    • Haloalkanes often exhibit higher boiling and melting points than their corresponding alkanes due to dipole-dipole interactions.

    Characteristics of Haloarenes

    • Haloarenes consist of an aromatic ring with at least one halogen atom attached.
    • The presence of the aromatic ring significantly influences their chemical properties, such as stability and reactivity.
    • Haloarenes are generally less polar than haloalkanes due to resonance stabilization in the aromatic system.

    Differences Between Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

    • Haloalkanes have a sp³ hybridized carbon atom bonded to halogen, while haloarenes have a sp² hybridized carbon in the aromatic structure.
    • The reactivity patterns differ, with haloalkanes typically participating in nucleophilic substitution reactions, whereas haloarenes undergo electrophilic substitution reactions.
    • Haloalkanes are more versatile in terms of synthetic applications compared to haloarenes due to their greater reactivity.
