Why do haloalkanes tend to dissolve in organic solvents?

Options

  1. AOrganic solvents have strong hydrogen bonding.
  2. BOrganic solvents have weak attractions with haloalkanes.
  3. COrganic solvents have strong intermolecular attractions with haloalkanes.
  4. DOrganic solvents have strong hydrogen bonding with water.

Correct answer

C. Organic solvents have strong intermolecular attractions with haloalkanes.

Step-by-step solution

Haloalkanes tend to dissolve in organic solvents because the new intermolecular attractions between haloalkanes and solvent molecules have much the same strength as the ones being broken in the separate haloalkane and solvent molecules.
