Question

Alcohols are freely soluble in water but alkyl halides are not

Answer 1

Hi dude!

Here is your answer..

Alkyl halides are organic compounds.

Water is a polar solvent having high value of dielectric constant .

Thus the polar compounds are fairly soluble in water. 

Alkyl halides are polar butcannot form hydrogen bonds withwater. ...

Thus alkyl halides are highlysoluble in organic solvents and lesssoluble in water.

Hope it helps you..
