Question

6. Iodine crystals dissolve in hexane more readily than in water. However, if the iodine crystals are left in the water for an extended time period, they will dissolve at the interface. This can best be explained because (A) iodine, although nonpolar in nature, has permanent dipoles that can interact with the polar water molecules. (B) iodine, although nonpolar in nature, has momentary dipoles that can then interact with the polar water molecules. (C) iodine, although nonpolar in nature, has a large molar mass, which allows it to interact with the polar water molecules (D) iodine, although nonpolar in nature, has a relatively low melting point, which allows it to interact with the polar water molecules.
