Consider two organic molecules,ethanol and benzene.One dissolves in water and the other does not.Why?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethanol contains a polar O-H bond, which allows it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules and dissolve in water. Benzene, on the other hand, is a nonpolar molecule and cannot form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, so it does not dissolve in water. Factors like molar mass, ionic nature, and electrolytic properties are not relevant in this case.
