Hello Keith
About your question:

>bad breath.
Alkyl halides are compounds usually used for chemical synthesis.
One example of a simple formula could be:
H
|
R-C-X o R-CH2-X
|
H
R = a carbon chain, having all single or single and double bonds, etc.
C = last carbon atom where the halide is bond.
X = Fluoride, Chloride, Bromide, Iodide.
Best regards,
Juan
