Water is a polar solvent. Since, 'Like dissolves like' a polar compound will be most soluble in water whereas a non-polar compound will be the least soluble.

The increasing order of polarity for the given organic compounds is:-

CH3OCH3 < CH3NH2 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH

Ether is the least polar and hence least soluble in water.

Answer: The correct answer is (A).

Explanation :

CH_3OCH_3 that is dimethyl ether will be least soluble in water because extent of hydrogen bonding interaction with water molecules are weakest in comparison to other listed options.

Where as :

  • In CH_3CH_2OH that is ethanol,in which extent of inter-molecular hydrogen bonding with water molecules will be highest due to the presence of polar (-OH) group.Where as (-NH_2) group is less polar than that of the (-OH) group.
  • in CH_3NH_2 that is methyl amine in which extent of hydrogen bonding will higher than than that of the CH_3CHO that is ethanal. This is due to presence of two hydrogen atoms in primary amine which are available for inter-molecular hydrogen bonding with water molecules.

So, the order  of solubility from least soluble to highly soluble compound in water will be:

CH_3OCH_3

What is the ionic charge for C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb?
Alecsey [184]
An atom of carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which means that 
<span>its ionic charge is 4+ or 4-
</span>Si is in same group as carbon so its also 4+ or 4-
Germanium is 4+.
Sn is also 2+ or 4+
Pb is usually +2
