NEET Chemistry Concentration Terms Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): A non-polar solute readily dissolves in a polar solvent.
Reason (R): Like dissolves like, meaning solutes dissolve in solvents with similar intermolecular interactions.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Non-polar solutes do not readily dissolve in polar solvents because 'like dissolves like'; solutes dissolve in solvents with similar interactions.
