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.
