The formation of a solution depends on:
A
solvent-solute interactions.
B
solvent-solvent interactions.
C
solute-solute interactions.
D
all of the above
E
the first and third choices only
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the formation of a solution involves interactions between the particles of the solute and the solvent.
Recognize that solvent-solute interactions are crucial because they determine how well the solute can dissolve in the solvent.
Acknowledge that solvent-solvent interactions are important as they must be overcome for the solvent to make space for the solute particles.
Consider that solute-solute interactions need to be broken for the solute particles to disperse throughout the solvent.
Conclude that all three types of interactions (solvent-solute, solvent-solvent, and solute-solute) play a role in the formation of a solution, but the problem specifies that the first and third choices are particularly emphasized.
