Answer:
A. the intermolecular forces are similar in both dichloromethane and iodine.
Explanation:
Solubility is determined by the principle , "like dissolves like" .
i.e. , if a compound is polar then it will dissolve in a polar compound only , and
if a compound is non - polar then it will dissolve in a non - polar compound only .
As,
Non polar compounds , have similar interaction , and hence gets dissolved , and similarly ,
polar compounds have similar dipole - dipole interaction , and hence gets dissolved .
From the question ,
Iodine, I₂(s), is more soluble in dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂(l) , as both are non - polar in nature and hence due to similar interaction , are soluble .
Water is polar in nature and therefore less soluble in Iodine, I₂(s) .
You can use physical methods to separate a mixture and also some chemical methods too.
Mixture is just a physical combine.
However a compound is a chemical combine so you must use special methods to separate it
Any buffer exists in this equilibrium
HA <=>

In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base (

)
When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base (

) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.
The electrons are unequally shared. The electronegative element receives the electrons from the electropositive one.
