Haloalkanes dissolve easily in organic solvents, why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Haloalkanes**: - Haloalkanes are organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and halogen atoms (such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine). An example of a haloalkane is methyl iodide (CH3I). 2. **Polarity of Haloalkanes**: - In haloalkanes, the presence of halogen atoms introduces a significant difference in electronegativity between the carbon atom and the halogen atom. For example, in CH3I, iodine is more electronegative than carbon, leading to the formation of a polar bond. - This results in a partial positive charge (δ+) on the carbon atom and a partial negative charge (δ-) on the halogen atom, creating a dipole moment in the molecule. ...
