7. Chemical reactions of haloalkanes
(a) Nucleophilic substitution reactions: Class 11 Maths NCERT Solutions
(i) C-X bond in alkyl halide is more polar due to electron repelling nature of alkyl group (-) and thus readily

undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction. These are of two types:
(1) SN1(Substitution, nucleophilic, unimolecuiar): In such type of reactions, rate = k [RX], i.e., rate, is NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths
independent of concentration of nucleophile and occurs in two steps. Such reactions are favoured by polar

reaction depends on concentration of nucleophile and take place in one step.
(ii) A SN2 reaction proceeds with complete stereochemical inversion while a SN1 reaction proceeds with NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science
racemisation.

(b) Elimination reaction: When a haloalkane with β-halogen atom is heated with alcoholic solution of NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Science
potassium hydroxide, there is elimination of hydrogen atom from α-carbon and a halogen atom from the a-
