Assertion: Alkyl halides, though polar, ...

Assertion: Alkyl halides, though polar, are immiscible with water.
Reason : Alkyl halides are polar due to the presence of polar C-X bond.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If both (A) and (R) are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
AlkyI halides are polar due to the.presence of polar C-X bond. Alkyl halides are immiscible, in water because alkyl halides are not able to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules and not able to break hydrogen bonds in water.
