Explain the solubility rule "like dissolves like" in terms of intermolecular forces that exist in solutions,

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A substance dissolves in a solvent if the intermolecular interactions are similar in both the components. For example, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non polar solutes in non polar solvents. Thus, we can say "like dissolves like".
