bond with water
d) They have
tetrahedral geometry
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The alkyl halides are insoluble in water because there is very little attraction that the halide molecules have for the solvent water. Hydrogen bonding is not present and for that reason, most alkyl halides are insoluble in water but tend to be soluble in hydrocarbon solvents
