Which one of the following is not an Alkyl halide?
- A
2-chloropropane
- B
1-chlorobutane
- C
2-butene
- D
4-chlorohexane
Monohaloalkanes are usually called alkyl halides. The functional group of alkyl halides is halogen. They are represented by R-X.
OPTION A: 2-chloropropane is an alkyl halide because it contains halogen which is chlorine.
OPTION B: 1-chlorobutane is also an alkyl halide.
OPTION C: 2-butene has an alkene group only. Hence, C is the correct option.
OPTION D: 4-chlorohexane is an alkyl halide.
2-chloropropane is an alkyl halide because it contains halogen which is chlorine.
1-chlorobutane is also an alkyl halide.
2-butene has an alkene group only. Hence, C is the correct option, as it does not have a halogen.
4-chlorohexane is an alkyl halide.
