lps to explain why? (A) Ethane, because the electron clouds of its molecules are more polarizable than those of propanol.
(B) Ethane, because its molecules can fit into the spaces between water molecules more easily than those of propanol can.
(C) Propanol, because its molecules have a greater mass than the molecules of ethane have.
(D) Propanol, because its molecules can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules but those of ethane cannot.
