Question
Give reason. Though alkyl halides are moderately polar, they are insoluble in 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 insoluble with water.
