A rod of a neutron-absorbing substance used to vary the output power of a nuclear reactor.
Answer:
Their particles exhibit the same type of intermolecular interaction
Explanation:
In chemistry, we commonly say that 'like dissolves like'. This implies that polar solvents dissolves polar solutes while nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.
This phenomenon of 'like dissolves like' is possible because, the dissolution of one substance in another involves intermolecular interaction between the solute and solvent molecules.
If the molecules of solute and solvent are both nonpolar and have about the same magnitude of intermolecular (dispersion) forces, interaction between the both molecules is significant hence the solute dissolves completely in the solvent.
