Question

Dissolution does not occur when covalent compounds are dissolved in covalent solvents like Benzene.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Yes, definitely dissolution occurs.
But the process is a lot more complicated as compared to that of the ionic crystals, the end result is the same. The solute particles get broken down into individual molecules and are surrounded by the solvent particles since intermolecular forces of attraction are same.
