anonymous · Answer

I think its D.

anonymous · Answer

The bonding characteristics of the solute and solvent determine if a solute will dissolve in a given solvent. Typically, the rule "like dissolves like" applies. Substances with like bonds will be soluble in one another. Thus, polar substances dissolve polar substances, while nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances.
