Metüülhalogeenid
Metüülhalogeenid are a class of organic compounds with the general formula CH3X, where X represents a halogen atom. The halogens commonly encountered in this class are fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). Thus, the specific compounds are methyl fluoride (CH3F), methyl chloride (CH3Cl), methyl bromide (CH3Br), and methyl iodide (CH3I). These compounds are the simplest alkyl halides, derived from methane by replacing one hydrogen atom with a halogen.
Methyl fluoride is a colorless gas with a faint ethereal odor. It finds limited use as a
The physical properties of methylhalides vary with the halogen. For example, boiling points generally increase as
