E)None of the above are true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A solution will form when the solute-solvent interactions are of comparable strength to the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions, allowing the solute particles to become evenly dispersed in the solvent. This is known as the "like dissolves like" principle, where substances with similar chemical and physical properties are more likely to form solutions.
