The dissolution of water in octane (C₈H₁₈)is prevented by ________. A)London dispersion forces between octane molecules B)hydrogen bonding between water molecules C)dipole-dipole attraction between octane molecules D)ion-dipole attraction between water and octane molecules E)repulsion between like-charged water and octane molecules

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
