Solubility in water. The alkyl halidesare at best only slightly soluble inwater. For a halogenoalkane todissolve in water you have to break attractions between the halogenoalkane molecules (van der Waals dispersion and dipole-dipole interactions) and break the hydrogen bonds between watermolecules.
