Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is formed due to unequal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

For example, HCl is a polar covalent compound.

This is because of the difference in electronegativities of both hydrogen and chlorine, partial opposite charges tend to develop on the hydrogen and chlorine atoms.

Whereas CHCl_{3} is a non-polar compound and when HCl is added to it then HCl being polar in nature is unable to dissolve.

On the other hand, water is a polar compound and when HCl is dissolved in it then it will dissociate into hydrogen and chlorine ions.

As electricity is the flow of ions or electrons. Therefore, HCl in water is able to conduct electricity because it dissociates into ions.

Therefore, we can conclude that HCl in water exists as H^{+} and Cl^{-} ions. And, HCl in CHCl_{3} exists as HCl.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociate on positive ions or cations of hydogen (H⁺) and negative ions or anions of chlorine (Cl⁻). When there is free cations and ions, water solution can conduct electricity. Chloroform do not dissociate on ions in water, because that is not polar molecule, so chloroform is in molecular form in solution.

What's the difference between incomplete dominance and codominance
EastWind [94]
In total dominance, the phenotype sees only one allele in the genotype. Both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype during codominance. In incomplete dominance, in the phenotype, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen.

It is possible to have more than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent.
vladimir1956 [14]

B. False

When the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent, we say that the solution is saturated with solute.
