This is a molecule where the halide is directly bound to a #CH_2# (a methylene) group.

Explanation:

Methyl halides, #H_3C-X#, are usually considered as a special case of primary halides. Because the ipso -carbon, the carbon to which the halogen is bound, is relatively unencumbered by groups around the carbon (other than the small hydrogens), the ipso carbon is fairly reactive, and prone to reaction.
