| How come some solutes will dissolve in the solvent but some don't? | |
 | |  |
|
|
| | |
| Well, if the particles in the solute get attracted to the particles in the solvent, then they will dissolve! If that happens then the solution is said to be soluble. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So if the particles don't attract and repel each other then they don't dissolve? And the solution is said to be insoluble? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| You got it! Take water and oil. They are an insoluble solution because the particles don't attract so the oil won't dissolve in the water. | |
