Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
In alkyl halides, there exist dipole-dipole attractions where as in water van der waal's forces or the hydrogen bonding exists.. It is difficuilt for alkyl halides to break these hydrogen bonds, hence making them almost insoluble in water.
Q8.Hydrocarbons having double the number of carbon atoms than present in the original alkyl halide are produced by using
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
The Wurtz reaction, named after Charles-AdolpheWurtz, is a coupling reaction in organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and recently inorganic main group polymers, whereby two alkyl halides arereacted with sodium metal in dry ethereal solution to form a higher alkane:
