Solution
The correct options are A toluene B chloroform. C kerosene Ionic compounds are soluble in water as water molecules orient in such a way that ions gets separated by dissociation. This results in the formation of new force of attraction between the ions and the surroundings replacing the old intermolecular forces. Ionic compounds are not soluble in organic solvents as they fail to establish a new force of attraction.
