Chapter 10: Haloalkanes and Haloarene

Focusing on Chapter 10: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes from the Class 12 CBSE NCERT Chemistry textbook, here are some of the most frequently asked questions:

  1. Nucleophilic Substitution Mechanisms: Differentiate between SN1 and SN2 mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution reactions, providing suitable examples for each.

  2. Optical Isomerism in Haloalkanes: Explain optical isomerism in haloalkanes with an example.

  3. Preparation Methods: Describe the preparation of chloroform (CHCl₃) from ethanol.

  4. Reactivity of Haloarenes: Why are haloarenes less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions compared to haloalkanes?

  5. IUPAC Nomenclature: Provide the IUPAC names for the following compounds:

    • CH₃CH₂CH(Cl)CH₃
    • C₆H₅CH₂Br
    • (CH₃)₃C-I
  6. Environmental Impact: Discuss the environmental effects of polyhalogenated compounds, such as DDT and chlorofluorocarbons.

  7. Elimination vs. Substitution: Under what conditions do haloalkanes undergo elimination reactions instead of substitution reactions?

  8. Reactivity Order: Arrange the following halides in order of increasing reactivity towards SN2 reactions: 1-bromobutane, 2-bromobutane, 2-bromo-2-methylpropane.

  9. Aryl Halide Reactions: Explain why aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions under ordinary conditions.

  10. Preparation of Grignard Reagents: Outline the method for preparing a Grignard reagent from bromoethane and discuss its significance in organic synthesis.
