3-Hour Power Plan

Strategic breakdown to master Haloalkanes and Haloarenes in just 180 minutes.

Hour 1
Preparation & Properties
  • 1
    Review Methods of Preparation (From Alcohols, Hydrocarbons)
  • 2
    Master SN1 vs SN2 Mechanisms (Factors affecting rate)
  • 3
    Understand Stereochemical aspects (Inversion, Racemisation)
  • 4
    Study Physical Properties (Boiling point trends)
Hour 2
Reactions & Mechanisms
  • 1
    Practice Elimination Reactions (Saytzeff Rule)
  • 2
    Master Reactions of Haloarenes (Nucleophilic Substitution difficulty)
  • 3
    Learn Electrophilic Substitution in Haloarenes
  • 4
    Study Reaction with Metals (Wurtz, Fittig, Grignard)
Hour 3
Conversions & Reasoning
  • 1
    Solve 10 'Convert X to Y' problems
  • 2
    Answer 'Give Reason' for low reactivity of Haloarenes
  • 3
    Practice 'Arrange in Order' (Reactivity towards SN1/SN2)
  • 4
    Review Polyhalogen compounds uses

Why this works?

This plan follows the "Interleaving" study technique. Instead of blocking 3 hours on just reading, you switch between concepts (Hour 1), application (Hour 2), and testing (Hour 3). This forces your brain to constantly retrieve information, strengthening neural pathways for the exam.
