*Ozone Depletion:** Certain haloalkanes like CFCs contribute to ozone layer depletion, leading to international agreements like the Montreal Protocol aimed at reducing their use. **Persistence:** Many halogenated compounds degrade slowly, leading to bioaccumulation and long-term ecologi
es. Practice with Varied Examples Work through exercises that include primary, secondary, and tertiary haloalkanes, as well as haloarenes with different substituents. This variety will prepare you for unexpected questions. Use Mnemonics and Analogies For insta

replaced by halogen atoms. The general structure is Ar–X, where Ar represents an aryl group (aromatic ring). Unique Characteristics of Haloarenes Unlike haloalkanes, haloarenes exhibit different chemical behavior due to the resonance stabilization and electron-rich nature of the aromatic ring. Th
