Question

Alkyl halides are immiscible in water though they are polar because (A) they react with water to give alcohols (B) they cannot form hydrogen bonds with water (C) C -X bond cannot be broken easily (D) they are stable compounds and are not reactive

Though polar, alkyl halides cannot form hydrogen bonds with water hence they are insoluble in water.

Q. Alkyl halides are immiscible in water though they are polar because

they react with water to give alcohols

they cannot form hydrogen bonds with water

$C - X$ bond cannot be broken easily

they are stable compounds and are not reactive

Though polar, alkyl halides cannot form hydrogen bonds with water hence they are insoluble in water.

Q. Alkyl halides are immiscible in water though they are polar because

they react with water to give alcohols

they cannot form hydrogen bonds with water

C−X bond cannot be broken easily

they are stable compounds and are not reactive

Though polar, alkyl halides cannot form hydrogen bonds with water hence they are insoluble in water.

$C - X$ bond cannot be broken easily
