Explain the solubility rule “like dissolves like” in terms of intermolecular forces that exist in solutions.
Explain the solubility rule “like dissolves like” in terms of intermolecular forces that exist in solutions.

“Like dissolves like” term is used when the solvent dissolves in the solvent if its interactions between molecules are the same. This is because polar solutions can be dissolved in polar solvents and non-polar solute can be dissolved in non-polar solvents.
