Unit 3 – Intermolecular Forces and Properties
Topic 3.10
Which of the following best explains why molecular compounds with polar covalent bonds are generally more soluble in polar solvents than in nonpolar solvents?
The weak van der Waals interactions between the polar molecules and the solvent molecules make it difficult for the molecular compound to dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
The strong covalent bonding between the polar molecules and the solvent molecules make it easier for the molecular compound to dissolve in polar solvents.
The strong dipole-dipole interactions between the polar molecules and the solvent molecules make it easier for the molecular compound to dissolve in polar solvents.
The strong hydrogen bonding between the polar molecules and the solvent molecules make it easier for the molecular compound to dissolve in polar solvents.
