'CCl_4' and water are immiseibe whereas ethyl alcohol and water are miscible in all propor tions. Predict the behaviour of molecular structures of these compounds.

Explanation

.CCl_4. can neither form H-bonds with water molecules nor it can break H-bonds between water molecules, therefore, it is insoluble in water. .CCl_4. is non-polar covalent compound .^*+. whereas water is a polar compound. Alcohol is polar compound and can form H-borids with water, which is polar, solvent, therefore, it is miscible with water in all proportions. Alcohol is a polar covalent compound
