the melting and boiling points are
Answers
Answer:
when an elememt statrts to melt at a temperature this point is called melting points.
When an element starts to boil at a temperature this point is known as boiling point
Haloalkanes have higher boiling point as compared to those of corresponding alkanes. This due to their polarity and strong dipole - dipole attractive interactions between haloalkane molecules.
The boiling point of haloalkanes are in the order RCl < RBr < RI. It is because with the increase in size and mass of the halogen atom the magnitude of van der Waal forces of attraction increase.
Bromo, iodo and polychloro derivatives of hydrocarbons are heavies than water. The density increases with increases in number of carbon atoms, halogen atoms and atomic mass of the halogen atoms.
Haloalkanes and haloarenes are covalent compounds hence they are practically insoluble in water because they are not able to form hydrogen bonds with molecules. They are soluble in organic solvents.
