The Chemistry of the Haloalkanes

Explain why a carbon-halogen bond is polar.

Define 'Nucleophile'

Give three examples of nucleophiles

When a haloalkane reacts with a nucleophile, the nucleophile replaces the hydrogen in what type of reaction?
What is the name of the specific reaction for nucleophiles?

In the mechanism for nucleophillic substitution, does the nucleophile approach the carbon atom at the same side, or opposite side of the halogen atom?
Explain why

After the nucleophile has approached the carbon, what happens next in the mechanism for Nucleophillic Substitution?

Once the nucleophile has made a bond with the carbon, what happens next?

Haloalkanes can be converted to alcohols using what aqueous solution?

The reaction to form an alcohol from a haloalkane is very slow at room temperature, so to make sure a good yield is obtained, what conditions is the reaction done under?

What happens to the rate of hydrolysis as you go from C-F, to C-Cl, to C-Br, to C-I?

To measure the Rate of Hydrolysis reactions during nucleophillic substitution, what aqueous mixture is used?

What is formed when the halide ions produces react with the silver nitrate?

A haloalkane of 1-chlorobutane would produce a ______ coloured precipitate at a ________ rate

A haloalkane of 1-bromobutane would produce a ______ coloured precipitate at a ______ rate

A haloalkane of 1-Iodobutane would produce a ______ coloured precipitate at a ______ rate
