NEET 2016 Chemistry Haloalkanes and Haloarenes Questions
Use this page to connect the official 2016 paper with current Chemistry practice. NeetVellum does not claim a chapter appeared in that paper until the official question and final key have been mapped.
What to master
preparation, substitution, elimination and aryl-halide reactivity.
Original practice preview
These are current-syllabus NeetVellum questions, shown separately from historical-paper provenance.
Example 2 · difficulty 2/5
In the Finkelstein reaction, R–X + NaI → R–I + NaX, the conversion of a chloroalkane or bromoalkane to the corresponding iodoalkane is carried out specifically in dry acetone because:
- A. water dissolves all the salts equally well, keeping the system at equilibrium
- B. ethanol stabilises the iodoalkane product against further reaction
- C. NaI is soluble in acetone while NaCl/NaBr are insoluble and precipitate out, pulling the equilibrium forward
- D. liquid ammonia complexes with Na⁺ and thereby removes the leaving group
Example 3 · difficulty 1/5
Which of the following alkyl bromides undergoes an SN2 reaction with I⁻ in acetone at the fastest rate?
- A. 1-Bromopropane
- B. Bromomethane
- C. 2-Bromopropane
- D. 1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane
The evidence-first practice loop
- 1. Verify provenanceOfficial paper and final key before accepting a PYQ label.
- 2. Attempt closed-bookExpose the concept or execution gap before rereading.
- 3. Repair and returnClassify the miss and re-practice after a delay.

Frequently asked questions
Are these official NEET 2016 Chemistry Haloalkanes and Haloarenes PYQs?
No. The previews are original NeetVellum practice questions. A historical item receives a PYQ label only after its official paper and authoritative final answer key are attached. Use the official archive for the source paper.
How should I use the NEET 2016 paper?
Solve the official paper under its original timing, verify against the final key, classify every miss, and then use the linked current-syllabus practice bank to repair the exposed concept.
