Question
Chapter 11.6, Problem 11.17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason should be explained for the high concentration of DDT in tissues of shorebirds.
Concept introduction:
The solubility of a molecule depends on the polarity of the solvent and solution that means like dissolve like. In other words, the polar molecule is soluble in polar solvent only and in non-polar solvents, the soluble molecule will be non-polar in nature.

Acidic gases are repelled by the surfaces of both non-living and living things, such as plant tissue. B.

Rain, sleet, or snow with a pH of 6 or less forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the surface of Earth. Solid acidic particles build up in the atmosphere, do not mix with atmospheric water vapor, and eventually settle out of the atmosphere onto the surface of Earth.arrow_forward
