Interpretation:
It is to be explained why bromobenzene is insoluble in water but
Concept introduction:
The major intermolecular interaction between the molecules of water is hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a form of dipole-dipole interaction but with substantially higher energy than the usual dipole-dipole interactions.
For a compound to be soluble in water, the type of intermolecular interactions between its molecules must be similar to that in water. It must exhibit substantial dipole-dipole interactions or a capability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
A polar solvent can induce heterolysis of a carbon-halogen bond, accompanied by solvation of the ions.
