Answer:
The solubility of haloalkanes in water. Haloalkanes aren't very soluble in water because they can't form hydrogen bonds, and the energy required to break hydrogen bonds in water etc is higher than the energy released when new bonds between the haloalkane and water are formed.

ANSWER :
Because they cannot form H- bonds with water, so the water prefers to bond to itself. In non-polar solvents the attraction required to break hydrogen bonds in water etc is higher than the energy released when new bonds between the haloalkane and water are formed.
