Halogenoalkanes Aim The aim of the plan is to investigate and identify a suitable nucleophilic substitution reaction of a halogenoalkane. Also to plan an experiment that compares how the rate of displacement reaction of the halides differs in respect to the bonds between the carbon and the halogen. What are halogenoalkanes? Halogenoalkanes are compounds that have replaced one or more hydrogen atoms with a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine in an alkane. Halogenoalkanes are also known as haloalkanes or alkyl halides. These compounds are based on the bond between the carbon and the halogen; so in order to investigate the nucleophilic substitution reaction we need to consider bond strengths, bond lengths, electronegativity of the halogens and the carbon atoms and the boiling points for the bond between carbon and halogen to be broken. This is because the nucleophilic substitution reaction involves in breaking these bond so that it can take...
