Halogenoalkanes :
(CnHenX) an alkane in which one or m o re
of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a
halogen .

brown ppt forms :
AgOH -bond strength dominates the order of the rate of
hydrolysis
-rate of reaction :
tertiary halogeno alkanes react fastest due to
alkyl groups which reduce the positive charge on the carbon
Uses :
making it easier to release the
halogen
