Explain why the alkyl halides though polar are immiscible with water .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Alkyl halides are polar but these do not dissolve in water i.e., immiscrible in nature .
Reason : Among water molecules strong inter molecular hydrogen bonding is present .
This hydrogen bond is difficult to be broken by alkyl halides .
