Introduction
The video begins with an energetic introduction, setting the stage for an organic chemistry chapter on haloalkanes and haloarenes. The instructor welcomes students and assures them that even those with a weak foundation in 11th-grade organic chemistry will be able to follow along, as the course will cover the basics. The introduction also touches on the use of chloroform and references a popular Bollywood song to illustrate key concepts that will be covered in the chapter. The instructor provides her Telegram channel link for class notes, academic and non-academic doubt clarification, and important updates related to the chemistry subject.
Weightage Of Haloalkanes And Haloarenes
The video addresses the weightage of the haloalkanes and haloarenes chapter, noting that it typically accounts for six to seven marks in exams. While there have been variations in previous years, students can expect a similar range. The instructor also clarifies that the content is relevant for students following the NCERT syllabus across different boards, emphasising that the concepts and question patterns remain consistent.
Topics To Be Covered
The video outlines the topics to be covered in the class, including introduction and classification, nomenclature, methods of preparation, physical properties, chemical properties, and polyhalogen compounds. The instructor highlights that physical properties, particularly boiling points, are frequently tested, and the class will point out repetitively asked questions.
Introduction & Classification
The video starts by defining haloalkanes and haloarenes, explaining that "halo" refers to halogens such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Haloalkanes are described as derivatives of aliphatic hydrocarbons, where a hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen. Haloarenes, on the other hand, are derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons, with a halogen replacing a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring. The video emphasises the importance of specifying "aliphatic" when defining haloalkanes to avoid losing marks in exams.
Classification Of Haloalkanes
The video explains the classification of haloalkanes based on the number of halogen atoms attached (mono, di, tri, poly) and the hybridisation of the carbon atom to which the halogen is bonded (sp3 or sp2). It further details the classification of dihaloalkanes into geminal (both halogens on the same carbon) and vicinal (halogens on adjacent carbons). The video also covers allylic, benzylic, primary, secondary, and tertiary haloalkanes, providing examples and clarifying the differences between them.
Nomenclature
The video provides a detailed explanation of nomenclature, including the importance of identifying the word root, primary suffix, secondary suffix, primary prefix, and secondary prefix. It explains how to determine the word root based on the number of carbon atoms in the main chain and how to use primary suffixes (ane, ene, yne) to indicate the type of bond between carbon atoms. The video also covers the use of secondary suffixes for senior functional groups and secondary prefixes for junior functional groups, side chains, and extra groups like halogens. It provides examples of how to apply these rules to name different haloalkanes. The video also explains the use of prefixes like n-, iso-, neo-, secondary, and tertiary in nomenclature, clarifying their meanings and providing examples of how to use them correctly.
Nature Of C-x Bond
The video discusses the nature of the carbon-halogen (C-X) bond, explaining that the electronegativity difference between carbon and halogen atoms results in a polar bond. Halogen atoms are more electronegative, leading to a partial negative charge on the halogen and a partial positive charge on the carbon atom. The video also covers the trends in bond length, bond dissociation energy, and dipole moment for different halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) bonded to carbon. It explains that as you move down the halogen group, bond length increases, bond dissociation energy decreases, and dipole moment generally decreases, with a notable exception for chloromethane.
Mop Of Haloalkanes
The video explains the methods of preparation of haloalkanes, starting with the reaction of alcohols with hydrogen halides (HX) in the presence of ZnCl2. It notes that the reactivity order of alcohols is 3° > 2° > 1°, and the reactivity order of hydrogen halides is HI > HBr > HCl. The video also covers the reactions of alcohols with PCl5, PCl3, and SOCl2 (thionyl chloride), highlighting the advantages of using SOCl2 as it produces gaseous byproducts that escape, resulting in a purer haloalkane product. The video then discusses the preparation of haloalkanes from hydrocarbons through free radical halogenation and the addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes, explaining Markovnikov's rule and anti-Markovnikov's rule.
Mop Of Haloarenes
The video explains the methods of preparation of haloarenes, including the Sandmeyer reaction, which involves converting an aromatic amine to a diazonium salt followed by reaction with CuCl or CuBr to yield the corresponding haloarene. It also mentions the Gattermann reaction as an alternative. The video further discusses the use of CuCl2 or Cu powder in the presence of HCl to obtain chlorobenzene. The video also covers the Hunsdiecker reaction, which involves the reaction of a silver salt of a carboxylic acid with bromine to yield a bromoarene, and direct halogenation, where a halogen reacts with an aromatic ring in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst.
Physical Properties
The video discusses the physical properties of haloalkanes and haloarenes, including colour, smell, boiling point, density, and solubility. It explains that haloalkanes are colourless when pure but may develop colour upon exposure to sunlight. The video also notes that lower molecular weight haloalkanes are gases, while higher molecular weight ones are liquids or solids. Boiling points increase with molecular mass and decrease with branching. Density increases with the number of carbon atoms, halogen atoms, and atomic mass. Haloalkanes are generally insoluble in water due to their inability to form strong hydrogen bonds.

Chemical Reaction Of Haloalkanes
The video explains the chemical reactions of haloalkanes, focusing on nucleophilic substitution reactions (SN1 and SN2), elimination reactions, and reactions with metals. It details the mechanisms of SN1 and SN2 reactions, including the factors that favour each type, such as the nature of the alkyl halide, the strength of the nucleophile, and the solvent. The video also covers elimination reactions, explaining Zaitsev's rule for predicting the major product.
Chemical Properties Of Haloarenes
The video discusses the chemical properties of haloarenes, explaining why they are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions compared to haloalkanes. The reasons include resonance stabilisation, sp2 hybridisation of the carbon atom bonded to the halogen, instability of the phenyl cation, and repulsion between the electron-rich arene ring and the nucleophile. The video also covers electrophilic substitution reactions in haloarenes, such as halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, and Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation, explaining how the halogen substituent directs incoming electrophiles to the ortho and para positions.
Polyhalosen Compounds
The video discusses polyhalogen compounds, including dichloromethane, trichloromethane (chloroform), triiodomethane (iodoform), carbon tetrachloride, freons, and DDT. For each compound, the video covers its uses, properties, and environmental impacts. It highlights the toxicity and health hazards associated with these compounds, as well as the importance of proper handling and disposal.

The video concludes with a thank you message, encouraging students to provide answers in the chat and wishing them well for their exams.
