Q:

What does the Aufbau Principle state

A) Electrons will be added to an atom starting from the lowest possible level or sublevel. B) Electrons will be added to an atom only if the orbitals are different colors.
C) Electrons will be added to an atom in a random order. D) Electrons will be added to an atom in a symmetrical manner.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Electrons will be added to an atom starting from the lowest possible level or sublevel.

Explanation:

The Aufbau Principle states that in the ground state of an atom, an electron enters the orbital with lowest energy first and subsequent electrons are fed in the order of increasing energies.

Q:

Why are hydrocarbons insoluble in water?

Answer

We know that polar substances are soluble in polar solvents and non polar substances are soluble in non-polar solvents only. Here the hydrocarbons are non-polar molecular substances and water is a polar solvent. So water can't dissolve hydrocabons.


 


Hence, as hydrocarbons are non-polar substances, they are insoluble in water as it is a highly polar solvent.
