16.3 Uses of Halogenoalkanes The use of CFCs CFCs are chlorofluorocarbons, compounds containing carbon with chlorine and fluorine atoms attached. Two common CFCs are CFC-11(CCl3F) and CFC-12(CCl2F2). Some properties and uses of CFCs: CFCs and the environment...
16.2 Reactions of Halogenoalkanes Chemical reactivity of halgenoalkanes Fluoroalkanes are the least reactive while iodoalkanes are the most reactive. This is because the carbon-halogen bond strength decreases from fluorine to iodine as the size of the halogen...
16.1 Introduction to Halogenoalkaes What are halogenoalkanes? Halogenoalkanes(or alkyl halides) are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine). Halogenoalkanes can be...
CHAPTER 16: Halogen Derivatives Introduction to Halogenoalkanes Reactions of Halogenoalkanes Uses of Halogenoalkanes Learning outcomes: recall the chemistry of halogenoalkanes as exemplified by the following nucleophilic substitution reactions of bromoethane:...
