An aryl halide are compound in which one or more hydrogen atoms directly bonded to an aromatic ring are replaced by a halide. Example: Benzyl Chloride
Alkyl halides are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by halogen atoms.

Aryl halides: the halogen atom is bonded to the sp2 hybridised carbon atom of an aromatic ring. Like chlorobenzene, bromobenzene etc.
Alkyl halides: the halogen atom is bonded to an alkyl group. Like chloromethane, fluoro ethane etc.

Re: Halogen Compounds

Aryl means Aromatic benzene  ring Halides means hallogen. When we are looking at an aryl halide. its simply one of the four hallogen atoms bonds directly to the benzene ring  ..


   Alkyl halides also called haloalkanes or halogenoalkanes are chemical compounds that are often derived from alkanes that contain one or more halogens. We can also say that alkyl halides are a subset of the general class of halocarbons.Alkyl halide or haloalkanes are formed by the replacement of hydrogen atoms in an aliphatic hydrocarbon by halogen atoms (Fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine)

In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons. A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.

Farabi Sultan Sabah,dear friend, thanks for your question which is very important.I will try to answer your question in a way that you can easily understand.

Your question is-
Clarify Friedal Craft reaction.
Ans:When an alkyl group added to a benzene molecule by an electrophile aromatic substitution reaction called the Friedel‐Crafts alkylation reaction.In Friedel-Crafts alcylation, the product is an aromatic ketone, and the byproduct is HCl.
Example-The Friedel-Crafts reaction is promoted by AlCl3.AlCl3 promotes the chlorination of aromatic molecules such as benzene, when chlorine (Cl2) is added. The AlCl3 is regenerated, and HCl is a byproduct.

I hope you understand.

Halogens present in an organic compound forms sodium halide on fusion with sodium metal. Sodium halide extracted with water can be easily identified by adding silver nitrate solution after acidifying with dil. HNO3.

If chlorine is present, a white curdy precipitate soluble in ammonium hydroxide solution is formed.

Na + Cl → NaCl

NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3

If bromine is present, an yellowish white precipitate sparingly soluble in ammonium hydroxide solution is formed.

Na + Br → NaBr

NaBr + AgNO3 → AgBr + NaNO3

If iodine is present, an yellow precipitate insoluble in ammonium hydroxide solution is formed.

Na + I → NaI

NaI + AgNO3 → AgI + NaNO3

Answer: Nitrogenn, Sulphur, and halogens present in organic compounds are detected by Lassaigne’s test. Here, The extract is acidified with HNO3 and then treated with AgNO3. A white precipitate soluble in NH4OH indicates the presence of Cl, a yellowish precipitate sparingly soluble in NH4OH indicates the presence of Br, and a yellow precipitate insoluble in NH4OH indicates the presence of I.
