NEETChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes
Discuss the nature of the C–X bond in the haloarenes.
Options
- AThe C–X bond in haloarenes is polar covalent, with carbon being more electronegative than halogen.
- BThe C–X bond in haloarenes is purely covalent, with no polarity.
- CThe C–X bond in haloarenes is ionic, with halogen being more electronegative than carbon.
- DThe nature of the C–X bond in haloarenes varies depending on the specific halogen used.
Correct answer
A. The C–X bond in haloarenes is polar covalent, with carbon being more electronegative than halogen.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) The C–X bond in haloarenes is polar covalent, with carbon being more electronegative than halogen.
