Question
Chapter 13, Problem 83P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for methoxychlor being more biodegradable than DDT needs to be presented.
Concept Introduction:
- Polar molecules are molecules that have a permanent dipole which arises due to the difference in electronegativities between two bonding atoms. In contrast, non-polar molecules lack a permanent dipole since electrons are equally shared between the interacting atoms.
- Solubility of compounds depends on their polar. Like compounds dissolve in like solvents i.e. a polar solute will dissolve in a polar solvent.
