(N/A) Rules for naming aryl halides:
$(i)$ For monohaloarenes,the common and $IUPAC$ names are the same. In the $IUPAC$ system,the positions of substituents are indicated by numbering the carbon atoms of the ring starting from the carbon bearing the halogen atom.
$(ii)$ For dihaloarenes,the prefixes $ortho$ $(o-)$,$meta$ $(m-)$,and $para$ $(p-)$ are used in common names,while $1,2-$,$1,3-$,and $1,4-$ are used in the $IUPAC$ system.
$(iii)$ If more than two halogen atoms are present in the ring,the $IUPAC$ system is used by numbering the ring and using prefixes like $1,2,3-$,$1,3,5-$,etc.
$(b)$ Examples:
