halogenoalkanes Flashcards
1
Q
are halogenoalkanes soluble in water
A
insoluble as C-H bonds are non-polar, not compensated for enough by C-X bond polarity
2
Q
do halogenoalkanes have a polar bond
A
yes
halogen electronegativity > C electronegativity
3
Q
what intermolecular forces do they have and why
A
permanent dipole-dipole and van der waals
C-X bond polarity
