Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutral aniline can dissolve in diethyl ether because it is non-polar, and diethyl ether is also non-polar. Anilinium chloride and anilinium bromide are polar due to the charged nitrogen atom and will not dissolve in diethyl ether. Aniline iodide is also polar due to the ionic bond between aniline and iodide and will not dissolve in diethyl ether.
