Is chloroethane an alkane?

Thanks
Answered by ~christina~
NO it is NOT a carboxylic acid because instead of a -COOH it has a SOOH
Answered by ~christina~
yes it is an alkane...it even has a
-ane ending.
Answered by DrBob22
I would call chloroethane an alkyl chloride. If alkanes are defined as hydrocarbons, and this compound also has Cl, then it is not an alkane.
Answered by ~christina~
Hm..so then the alkyl halide is a derivative of an alkane. (slaps forehead for forgetting this)
Answered by DrBob22
Yes, alkyl halides are made from alkanes (at least they are sometimes).
