Answer 1

HEY BUDDY ♥

HERE'S THE ANSWER ✌

⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵

The haloalkanes are only slightly soluble in water.In order to dissolve a haloalkane in water,energy is required to overcome the attractions between the haloalkane molecules and break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

Since less energy is released in the formation of new attractions between haloalkane and water molecules and these are not very strong as the original hydrogen bonds present in water and hence the solubility of haloalkanes is low.

Hope you find it helpful ☺☺☺☺

Answer 2

Here is the reason,

Because they cannot form H-bonds with water, so the water prefers to bond to itself.

In non-polar solvents the attraction between the haloalkanes and the solvent is a strong (or stronger) than the attraction of solvent for solvent particles.

Hope it helps:)
