Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The more suitable solvent for iodine $\left({\text{I}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ is to be identified amongliquid ammonia $\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ and carbon disulfide $\left({\text{CS}}_2\right)$.

Concept introduction:

The solubility of a solute depends on the chemical bonds formed between the solvent and solute molecules.

The phrase “like dissolves like” indicates that polar or ionic solutes tend to dissolve only in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes dissolve only in nonpolar solvents.
