Question

Write IUPAC names of sec-butyl chloride.

Answer 1

Hint- In alkyl halides, the functional group is a halogen. Halogens are fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). The halogen family has a place with group 17 in the periodic table. Aside from iodine, halogens have more electronegativity than carbon.

Complete answer:
On descending group 17 from F to I, the size of the halogen increments and electronegativity diminishes. This electronegativity distinction among carbon and halogen makes a halfway negative charge on halogen and an incomplete positive charge on carbon.
It is a colourless, volatile liquid at room temperature that isn't miscible in water. Being an alkyl chloride, its boiling point changes relying upon what sort of halide is joined and where it is appended. The boiling points of chlorides are lower than bromides or iodides because of the little size of chlorine comparative with different halogens, and it's more vulnerable intermolecular powers.
It is incompatible with metals, copper, strong oxidizing agents and strong bases.
Sec-butyl chloride which is also known as secondary butyl chloride.
Its IUPAC name is 2-Butyl chloride.

$ \Rightarrow C{H_3} - CHCl - C{H_2} - C{H_3}$

Note: 2-Chlorobutane is utilized as a solvent and intermediate in organic synthesis. Further, it is associated with the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, plasticizer, rubber, resin and surfactants.
