NEET Chemistry Nomenclature MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the nomenclature of haloalkanes and haloarenes is correct?
Alkyl halides are named by the alkyl group followed by the name of the halide.
Aryl halides have different common and IUPAC names.
Vinylic halides are compounds where halogens are attached to sp3-hybridized carbon atoms.
Dihalogen derivatives of benzene are named using the prefixes o-, m-, p- only in IUPAC nomenclature.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Alkyl halides are indeed named by taking the name of the alkyl group followed by the halide, as stated in the NCERT context. Aryl halides commonly share both names, and vinylic halides are bonded to sp2 carbon atoms, making options B and C incorrect. Dihalogen derivatives use prefixes in both naming systems, making option D incorrect.
