In general alkyl haldies are insolube in water. The main reason is:

1. they are slightly polar
2. they do not form hydrogen bonds with \( H_{2} \) O
3. the halogen end is repelled by water
4. they are unreactive compounds

Correct answer: they do not form hydrogen bonds with \( H_{2} \) O

Solution

Alkyl halides may have a polar bond, but they cannot make strong hydrogen bonds with water. Since water is stabilized by hydrogen bonding, substances that cannot participate in it are generally poorly soluble.
