Question
according to the solubility principle of \like dissolves like,\ which pair of compounds will generally form a solution?
○ a nonpolar molecule and a nonpolar molecule
○ a polar molecule and a nonpolar molecule
○ an ionic compound and a nonpolar molecule
○ more than one of the pairs will form a solution.
○ none of the pairs will form a solution.
The "like dissolves like" principle states that substances with similar polarities form solutions. Nonpolar molecules interact well with other nonpolar molecules, while polar/ionic substances mix with polar/ionic ones. A nonpolar-nonpolar pair matches this principle, and no other valid pairing exists here.
