What are some hydrogen atoms replaced by atoms from the halogen family?

*why
Hydrogen atoms have only one electron, to fill its outer electron shell it needs one more. (This is an exception to the octet rule.) The elements found in the Halogen family have seven electrons in their outer shell and need one more to fill it (these follow the octet rule).
Both Hydrogen and Halogens have similar bonding properties since they all need only one more electron; they can form one single-bond with another atom. If a hydrogen atom is moved then a Halogen is readily able to take its place.
For example: Any alkane compound obtained by replacing every hydrogen atom of a halogen is called a perhaloalkane.

How does hydrogen react differently then halogen?
The halogens react with hydrogen to form; Hydrogen + Chlorine = Hydrogen Chloride Hydrogen + Bromine = Hydrogen Bromide Hydrogen + Fluorine = Hydrogen Fluoride etc When these products are dissolved in water they form monobasic acids; Hydrogen Cholride --> Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Hydrogen Bromide --> Hydrobromic Acid (HBr) Hydrogen Fluoride --> Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) etc
How is hydrogen in heavy water different from hydrogen in normal water?
Type your answer here... The hydrogen atoms in heavy water have a neutron in the nucleus, doubling the mass.
How many hydrogen atoms does cyclohexane have?
Since the chemical formula for Cycohexane is C6H12, it has 12 atoms of Hydrogen.
How many sodium atoms are in hydrogen?
None. Hydrogen is an element. It contains only hydrogen atoms.
How many atoms of carbon and hydrogen does decane have in it?
Decane has 10 carbon atoms and 22 hydrogen atoms.
Some hydrogen atoms replaced by atoms from the halogen family?
Family # 7: F, Cl, Br, I, etc...
If halogen atoms replaced hydrogen atoms in the molecules would the geometry of the molecules change?

A halogenated hydrocarbon is?
A compound containing one or more of the halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) but mainly hydrogen and carbon.
What do halogen atoms attach to to create alkyl halides?
An alkane. Hence the name alkyl. An alkane is a chain of carbon atoms bonded to each other with single bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling the remainder of the bonds. One hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen to form an alkyl halide.
What are halogen derivative of alkane?
Halogen derivatives of alkanes are also called alkyl halides. They are of different types and are classified depending on the no of halogen atoms in the molecule of the alkyl halide.Basically, they are formed by replacing one or more H atoms in the organic molecule. The number of H atoms forms the types of the alkyl halides....It's a very vast topic for 12th and it can even kill you...
What element family do atoms tend to share electrons in chemical bonds?
halogen family
What are trihalomethanes?
Trihalomethanes are chemical compounds in which three of the four hydrogen atoms of methane (CH4) are replaced by halogen atoms.Trihalomethanes (THMs) often occur in drinking water as a result of chlorine treatment for disinfectant purposes.
Has one or more of its hydrogen atoms replaced by atoms of other elements?
substituted hydrocarbon
What is meant by the term halon?
A halon is a term given to any of a class of chemical compounds that are derived from hydrocarbons by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with bromine atoms and other hydrogen atoms with a halogen (chlorine, fluorine, etc) atom.
What family of substance do carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms belong to?
They are parts of the alkanes substance family
What is an alkane in which a halogen atom replaces one or more hydrogen atoms on a carbon chain?
halo alkane or alkyl halides
Hydrocarbons in which some or all of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by chlorine and fluorine?
chlorofluorocarbons
