Account for the following observation:
Haloalkanes are denser than the corresponding hydrocarbons.

Answer

Haloalkane are denser than that of corresponding alkane because density increase with increasing the mass. As the halogen attached to the alkane the mass of the compound increases. Thus, halo alkanes are denser than corresponding alkane.
