Alkyl halides are polar but immiscible in water ..also explain solubility of these in water

Question

Umakant biswal · Answer

@ mukul
haloalkanes are slightly soluble in water , to dissolve it require energy to overcome the attraction between haloalkane molecule and break hydrogen bond between water molecule .
less energy is released when new are attraction are setup between haloalkanes and water molecule ,
these are not strong as orginal hydrogen bonds in water , as a result in water their solubility is very low
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT
ALL THE BEST ..

Arfat Sarole · Answer

the molecules of water are held together by H bonds . Since the new forces of attraction between water and alkyl halide molecules are weaker than the forces of attraction already existing between alkyl halide - alkyl halide molecules and water - water molecules . Thus alkyl halide are immiscible with water .

kirti · Answer

since water is a polar solvent having high value of dielectric constant,the polar compounds are fairly soluble in water.alkyl halides are polar but cannot form hydrogen bonds with water.
