Question

nacl table salt made up of na and cl ions dissolves in water but not in paint thinner. it is therefore a: non polar compound polar compound ionic compound solvent question 7 iodine does not dissolve in water. it is therefore a? non polar compound polar compound solvent

Explanation:

1. For NaCl: It is made up of Na and Cl ions. Ionic compounds are composed of ions and have the property of dissolving in polar solvents like water but not in non - polar solvents like paint thinner. So NaCl is an ionic compound.
2. For iodine: Water is a polar solvent. Non - polar compounds do not dissolve in polar solvents. Since iodine does not dissolve in water, it is a non - polar compound.

Answer:

1. C. ionic compound
2. A. non polar compound
