Haloalkanes Test Questions 20aug2023

This document provides questions about haloalkanes and haloarenes. It covers topics like IUPAC naming of haloalkanes and haloarenes, reactivity order predictions, physical property comparisons, reaction mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), electrophilic aromatic substitution, structural drawings, multi-step synthesis problems, and distinguishing chemical tests. The questions assess a range of concepts in the chapter including functional group recognition, reactivity, orientation effects, hydrolysis, isomerism and organic synthesis.
