Dihalomethane
The dihalomethanes are organic compounds in which two hydrogen atoms in
halomethanes
, and contains ten members.
There are four members with only one kind of halogen atom: difluoromethane, dichloromethane, dibromomethane and diiodomethane.
There are six members with two kinds of halogen atoms:
- Bromochloromethane
- Bromofluoromethane
- Bromoiodomethane
- Chlorofluoromethane
- Chloroiodomethane
- Fluoroiodomethane
