6.3 Nature of C - X Bond =
14, The C — X bond in alkyl halides is polar in nature OR Explain. Expl
halogenated compounds. 4
‘Ans: Since halogen atoms are more electronegative than carbon, the carbon-halogen bond
caries a partial negative charge. Hence C - X- bond is polar
The strength of C— X bonds in alkyl halide follows the order:
