Step 1: Understand what a haloalkane is. A haloalkane is a compound that has a carbon chain and at least one halogen atom (like bromine, chlorine, or iodine) attached to it.
Step 2: Look at the compound C2H5Br. This compound has two carbon atoms (C2) and five hydrogen atoms (H5), along with one bromine atom (Br).
Step 3: Identify the carbon chain. In C2H5Br, the carbon chain consists of the two carbon atoms.
Step 4: Check for the halogen. The compound has a bromine atom (Br) attached to the carbon chain.
Step 5: Conclude that since C2H5Br has a carbon chain and a bromine atom, it is indeed a haloalkane.
