What type of forces must the polar water molecules break to dissolve ethanol, C2H5OH?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Option B

Covalent Bonding

Explanation:

Covalent bonds in C2H5OH are formed between the carbon and hydrogen atoms, where there are shared electron pairs.

This is a weak form of attraction that holds the C2H5OH molecule together, and can easily be broken by a polar solvent such as water.

In order for water to be able to dissolve the C2H5OH molecule, it must break the covalent bonding present in the molecule
