is higher than that of 
.
(ii) The
reactions of primary and secondary alcohols with HY require presence of 
as catalyst.
Answer:
(i) Although F
is more electronegative than 
atom, dipole moment
of 
is greater than 
because F atom is very small w.r.t. atom. We know that dipole moment =
charge x bond length. So, smaller bond length means less dipole moment.
(ii) The
reaction of 1 ° and 2° alcohol with HA" is very slow and hence a catalyst 
is added to increase reactivity
rate.
