Haloalkanes And...

The free radical iodination of hydrocarbons requires an oxidizing agent like HgO because

Alkyl fluorides are prepared indirectly from alkyl chlorides using inorganic fluorides such as AsF₃, AgF, SbF₃, etc. The process is referred to as Swart's reaction. Direct fluorination of alkanes is avoided because

In the Finkelstein reaction for preparation of iodoalkanes from alkyl chlorides and bromides, acetone is used as

Neopentyl chloride is preferably prepared by free radical chlorination of neopentane because

Sandmeyer's method of preparation of chlorobenzene proceeds through which of the following mechanisms?

The boiling point of the alkyl halides (for the same alkyl group) increases in the following order:

R-I > R-Cl > R-Br > R-F

Which of the following options justifies the trend?

When exposed to light, which of the following alkyl halides is/are expected to develop colour?

(i) C₂H₅I
(ii) C₂H₅Cl
(iii) C₂H₅F
(iv) C₂H₅Br

In the presence of two different β-hydrogens, the dehydrohalogenation of fluoroalkanes would yield

The correct order for nucleophilic substitution among the alkyl halides is
