Chapter 12, Problem 12.50SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Arrange the following compounds in order of their expected increasing solubility in water: Bromine, potassium bromide, toluene.

Concept introduction:

Polar molecule: Polarity of a molecule is depending on the electro negativity difference between the molecules which from polar bond. In a polar molecule one dipole has a partial positive charge where as other one has partial negative charge.

Non-polar molecule: In non-polar molecule electrons are equally shared between the nuclei. In non-polar molecule force or attraction between different molecules is small. Hence non-polar molecule show less reactivity.
