What are the most common mistakes students make in Haloalkanes & Haloarenes?

the halogen on an aromatic ring is held by partial double-bond (resonance) character, so haloarenes resist the easy substitution that haloalkanes undergo.

Top mistakes to avoid in Haloalkanes & Haloarenes: • the halogen on an aromatic ring is held by partial double-bond (resonance) character, so haloarenes resist the easy substitution that haloalkanes undergo. • assuming every substrate reacts by the same mechanism. • using a Grignard reagent in a wet apparatus.
