explain inter molecular fr observation I2 in H2O and hexane and ethanol
I2 is non-polar molecule
We know that like dissolves like that means polar compounds disolve in polar solvents & non-polar compounds dissolve in non-polar solvents
Water is a polar solvent .When dissolving I2 in water(having dipole moment) an induced dipole moment is created in I2 so the molecular forces are dipole- induced dipole interactions.
Hexane non-polar organic solvent I2 is soluble in hexane &
the type of intermolecular forces are vanderwall's forces
Ethanol is also a polar solvent, here also the molecular forces are
dipole- induced dipole interactions.
