13. Boiling point increases with increasing number of halogens CH 3 Cl -24°C CH 2 Cl 2 40°C CHCl 3 61°C CCl 4 77°C CompoundBoiling Point Even though CCl 4 is the only compound in this list without a dipole moment, it has the highest boiling point. Induced dipole-induced dipole forces are greatest in CCl 4 because it has the greatest number of Cl atoms. Cl is more polarizable than H.

16. Solubility in water Alkyl halides are insoluble in water. Methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol are completely miscible with water. The solubility of an alcohol in water decreases with increasing number of carbons (compound becomes more hydrocarbon-like).
