A solution of two liquids, A and B, shows negative deviation from Raoult's law. This means that
A) the molecules of A hinder the strong interaction between B molecules.
B) molecules of A interact strongly with other A-type molecules.
C) molecules of A interact more strongly with B than with A or and more strongly than B with B.
D) the two liquids have a positive heat of solution.
E) molecules of A interact weakly, if at all, with B molecules.

Negative deviation from Raoult's law means that the molecules in the solution interact more strongly with each other than would be expected based on the ideal behavior according to Raoult's law. In this case, it means that the molecules of A interact more strongly with B than with A or with other A-type molecules.
