Question

____ are hydrocarbons that contain a halogen such as cl, f, i, or br.
alkyl halides
carbohydrates
alkanes
alkenes

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Alkyl halides: These are hydrocarbons (compounds of C and H) with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by a halogen (Cl, F, I, Br), matching the description.
• Carbohydrates: Contain C, H, O (not just C, H with halogens), so incorrect.
• Alkanes: Saturated hydrocarbons with only C and H (no halogens), incorrect.
• Alkenes: Unsaturated hydrocarbons with C, H and a double bond (no halogens), incorrect.

Answer:

A. Alkyl halides
