Give reason for polarity of C-X bond in haloalkane. |
|
Answer» The C-X BOND is highly polar in nature because halogen atoms are electronegative and the carbon atom is ELECTROPOSITIVE. The difference in electronegativity results in withdrawal of electron DENSITY from sigma bond pair towards the halogen atom. ... Electronegativity of X: F(3.98) > CL(3.16) > BR(2.96) > I(2.66).m.. |
