Question

Explain why alkyl halides, though polar are immiscible with water ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Alkyl halides though polar are immissible with H

2 O because energy is required to overcome the attractions between the haloalkane molecule and to break the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules. Thus, alkyl halides though polar are immisicible with water

Answer 2

Answer :-

Alkyl halides are polar molecules and therefore, their molecules are held together by dipole-dipole forces. On the other hand, the molecules of H2O are held together by hydrogen bonds.

When alkyl halides are added to water the new forces of attraction b/w water and alkyl halide molecules are weaker than the forces of attraction already existing b/w alkyl halide-alkyl halide molecules and water-water molecules. Hence, alkyl halides are immiscible in water.
