MHT CET Chemistry question

Noble gases are sparingly soluble in water due to

(A)Dipole – dipole interactions
(B)Dipole – induced dipole interactionCorrect
(C)Induced dipole – induced dipole interactions
(D)Hydrogen bondings

Answer: (B)

Solution

Polar water induces a dipole in the non-polar noble gas atoms, giving weak dipole – induced dipole attraction and so small solubility; noble gas atoms have no permanent
