NEETChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes

How does the energy required to dissolve haloalkanes in water compare to the energy released when new attractions are formed with water molecules?

Options

  1. AEnergy required is higher than energy released.
  2. BEnergy required is lower than energy released.
  3. CEnergy required is equal to energy released.
  4. DEnergy required is unpredictable.

Correct answer

A. Energy required is higher than energy released.

Step-by-step solution

Less energy is released when new attractions are set up between haloalkanes and water molecules, and therefore, more energy is required to dissolve haloalkanes in water.
