Answer:

D) NaO2CC6H4CO2K

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent and tends to solvate polar molecules. This allows solute molecules to interact with the solvent and that is why the solubility of a molecule in water increases with the increase in its polarity. So, the salt of phthalic acid is more soluble in water than phthalic acid itself. Although the monosodium and monopotassium salts are also more soluble than phthalic acid, the dialkali phthalate salt (NaO2CC6H4CO2K) is the most soluble due to the highest polarity.

vichka [17]

Explanation:

Since, the atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. So, in order to attain stability it needs to gain 3 electrons.

Hence, when it chemically combines another nitrogen atom then as both the atoms are non-metals. So, sharing of electrons will take place.

Also, there is no difference in electronegativity of two nitrogen atoms. Hence, compound formed N_{2} is non-polar covalent in nature.
