Chapter 6, Problem 70E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From among the space-filling molecular images, the compounds soluble in water are to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

A polar bond is formed between elements with different electronegativities. Due to uneven electron distribution, there is charge separation resulting in a dipole.

In polar molecules like water, the positive end of the molecule attracts the negative end of its neighbouring molecule. This attraction keeps water molecules together.
