Haloalkanes contain halogen atom (s) attached to the sp3 hybridised carbon atom of an alkyl group. Identify haloalkane from the following compounds.

(i) 2-Bromopentane

(ii) Vinyl chloride (chloroethene)

(iii) 2-chloroacetophenone

(iv) Trichloromethane

<p><span data-teams="true">This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar</span></p><p>Option (i) and (iv) have a halogen atom linked to an <strong>sp³</strong> hybridised carbon that is single-bonded to other groups. The other possibilities are <strong>sp²</strong> hybridised because they are linked to carbon atoms, which are coupled to other groups in double bonds. Option I and (iv) are both correct.</p><p><strong>Correct Answer:</strong> Option (i) and (iv)</p>
