Question
Chapter 1, Problem 3E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the fading of a carpet when kept under sunlight and salt dissolving in water when the water is stirred is to be explained at molecular level.
Concept Introduction:
Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with phenomenon occurring at the macroscopic level, with molecular reasoning.
Sunlight decomposes the molecules which impart colour to a substance.
Dissolving is a process in which salt molecules break down and get surrounded by water molecules.
