The geminal dihalides are organic compounds containing two halide groups attached to the same carbon whereas vicinal dihalides are organic compounds having two halide groups attached to two adjacent carbon atoms of the same chemical compound.

Vicinal dihalides are compounds that have halogens on adjacent carbons, and are prepared by the reaction between a halogen and an alkene. Simply, dihalides in which two halogen atoms are attached to two adjacent carbon atoms are known as vicinal dihalides.
