Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 10.12 Halogenoalkane structural-class reactivity
Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 10.12 Halogenoalkane structural-class reactivity
Hold the halogen constant when isolating the structural trend, classify the carbon bearing X and use the observed rate or mechanism context to justify the order.
How this is tested
- Select the tertiary halogenoalkane as fastest when comparing structural isomers.
- Explain a structural-rate difference using halogenoalkane class and mechanism context.
