I think you mean vinyl organohalides.

What are vinyllic organohalides? How would you be able to identify them? Thanks

Vinyl Chloride, H2C=CHCl would be the simplest compound in this group. Any one of the H's can be replaced by an alkyl group to form a more complicated vinyl organohalide. Vinyl molecules (monomers) can link together to form polyvinyl chloride plastics (PVC).
A simple test for for the monomer and possibly the polymer is to dip or coat a hot copper wire in the compound, then place it in a very hot flame. Traces of copper chloride form in the flame and color it green. This is called the Beilstein test for organic cholorides.
