Show hintHide hint
What is the maximum number of carbons connected to this carbon?
Question 2.
Provide an example of a tertiary haloalkane.
Show hintHide hint
How many other carbons are connected to the haloalkane?
3Question 3.

- Three carbons
Show hintHide hint
Consider the definition of a primary haloalkane.
4Question 4.
True or False: In a tertiary haloalkane, the halogen is on a carbon connected to two other carbons.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what the prefix 'tertiary' means.
Question 5.
Describe the reactivity of tertiary haloalkanes compared to primary and secondary haloalkanes in nucleophilic substitution mechanisms.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the difference between the mechanisms.
Question 6.
Predict the substitution reactions for an aromatic haloarene like C₆H₅Cl when reacted with a strong nucleophile under vigorous conditions.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what kind of reaction haloarenes generally undergo.
