Detailed explanation-1: -A tertiary halogenoalkane has three carbon atoms bonded directly to the carbon atom that is bonded to the halogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, 3–Chloro–3–methyl pentane is an example of a tertiary haloalkane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tertiary halogenoalkanes are organic compounds that have a carbon atom attached to three alkyl groups (no hydrogen atoms attached directly to this carbon) and a halogen atom. The general structure for a tertiary haloalkane is R3-C-X, where three R groups (alkyl groups) can be either the same or different groups.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon and hydrogen atoms are not usually shown in skeletal formula. Here you just use dashes to indicate C-C bonds and (usually) only show bonds to non-carbon atoms, in this case halogen atoms in halogenoalkanes e.g.-F, -Cl, -Br or-I. More items
