Question
Give reason:
Alkyl halides though polar are immiscible with water.
Solution
- Alkyl halides cannot form hydrogen bonds with water.
- In addition to this, the attraction between alkyl halide molecules is stronger than the attraction between alkyl halide and water.
Hence, alkyl halides though moderately polar are immiscible with water.
