Anita Dahiya · Accepted Answer

Depending on the number of halogen atoms present haloalkanes can
be classified as:
Mono-haloalkanes: containing one halogen atom, eg
CH3CH2Cl - chloroethane
Di-haloalkanes: containing two halogen atoms, eg
CH3CHF2 - 1,1 difluoroethane
tri-haloalkanes: containing three halogen atoms, eg
CH3CF3 - 1,1,1 trifluoroethane
