Question

How does the melting point varies with alkyl halide?

Answer 1

For the same alkyl group, the boiling point of haloalkanes decreases in the order RI > RBr > RCl > RF.This is due to the increase in van der Waals forces when the size and mass of the halogen atom increases. ... Solubility: The haloalkanes are only very slightly soluble in water, but dissolves in organic solvents.

Answer 2

for the same alkyl group the bolling points of halalkanes decrease in the order rl >rbr>rci >rf this is due to the increase in van der walls forces when the size and mass of the halogen
