Question

What is the difference between vinylic and aryl halide?

Answer 1

Well, an aryl halide is an halo-substituted aryl ring, i.e. of the form `C_6H_5X`.........

Explanation:

Whereas a vinylic halide is a halo-substituted vinyl group, i.e. `X-CH=CHR`. Aryl halides are room temperature liquids, whereas, vinyl chloride (`"b.p ="-13.4^@`) and vinyl bromide (`"b.p ="15.8^@`) are much more volatile. Why should this be so?
