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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A substance will dissolve into another if the two substances have similar intermolecular interactions. This is possible only if either both the substances (solute and solvent) are polar or both are non-polar. This rule is called "like dissolves like".
