Question

Rate these alkyl halides as either 1 degree (primary), 2 degree (secondary) or 3 degree (tertiary). I'm unsure on how to get these, could someone explain? I need to know this in order to rank the reactivity for an SN1 reaction from fastest to slowest.

Explanation / Answer

if halogen is attatched to a carbon that is indeed attatched to 3 carbon atoms is tertiary halide if halogen is attatched to a carbon that is indeed attatched to 2 carbon atoms is secondary halide if halogen is attatched to a carbon that is indeed attatched to 1 or no carbon atoms is primary halide A - primary B-secondary C-primary D - primary E-tertiary F-primary
