Aryl halides are compounds containing halogen attached:
A. to an alkene.
B. directly to a cyclic alkane.
C. directly to an aromatic ring.
D. to a side chain of aromatic ring.
Aryl halides are compounds in which the halogens are attached directly to the aromatic ring. Alkyl halides are not only the saturated form of the halogen-containing compounds, for they also compose the substituted alkyl group, for example, vinyl chloride.
