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.

    Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitutuion reaction as compared to alkyl halide due to

    Paragraph IV There are several factors which decide the fate of substrate in presence of nucleophile. One of them is nature of solvent. In mildly basic, neutral or acidic solution primarily substitution takes place. This will occur via S_N2 mechanism for 1° alkyl halides and via S_N1 mecahanism for 3° alkyl halides. When 2° alkyl halides react with(-) charge nucleophile in polar protic solvents, the S_N2 mechanism is followed when 2° alkyl halides react with H_2O or ROH as solvent S_N1 mechanism is followed. In strongly basic solutions primarily elimination takes place with 2° and 3° alkyl halides. When we use strong and sterically hindered base, KOtBu, even 1° alkyl halides given elimination products primarily.
