Question

Non polar compounds are soluble in polar solvent.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Polar (or ionic) compounds are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents. This is based on the principle of "like dissolves like". Thus, sodium chloride (ionic compound) is soluble in water (polar solvent). Naphthalene (non-polar compound) is soluble in toluene (non-polar solvent).
