Assertion: Alkyl halides are polar in nature, but they are almost insoluble in water Reason: They can neither form Hydrogen bond nor they can break hydrogen bond between water molecules.
- A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation to Assertion
- B. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation to Assertion
- C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
- D. Assertion is false but Reason is true
Step-by-step solution
Alkyl halides are polar due to the electronegativity difference in the C-X bond, but they are almost insoluble in water because they cannot form hydrogen bonds with water molecules and cannot disrupt the hydrogen bond network of water. This lack of hydrogen bonding explains their insolubility despite being polar.
