Review of NCERT Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 6

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes (Chapter 6) is a critical chapter in organic chemistry for Class 12 students. It covers the preparation, properties, and reactions of haloalkanes and haloarenes, which are organic compounds containing halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine). These compounds are widely used in industries, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.

This chapter also highlights the importance of understanding substitution and elimination reactions, which form the basis for many organic reactions. Through these reactions, students learn the mechanisms by which haloalkanes and haloarenes are synthesized and transformed, gaining valuable knowledge applicable to both the academic curriculum and real-world applications.
