Chemistry · Class 12 · CBSEHaloalkanes and Haloarenes

The main difference in C X bond of a haloalkane and haloarene is
  1. C X bond in haloalkanes is shorter than haloarenes.
  2. in haloalkanes the C attached to halogen in C X bond is sp3 hybridised while in haloarenes it is sp2 hybridised.
  3. C X bond in haloarenes acquires a double bond character due to higher electronegativity of X than haloalkanes.
  4. haloalkanes are less reactive than haloarenes due to difficulty in C X cleavage in haloalkanes.

Answer

(B) in haloalkanes the C attached to halogen in C X bond is sp 3 hybridised while in haloarenes it is sp 2 hybridised.
