Answer 1

The solubility of noble (inert) gases in water is due to DEBYE ATTRACTION.

Detailed Discussion:

First of all , what is DEBYE ATTRACTION?

• Debye Attraction occurs between a polar molecule and a nonpolar molecule.

• In our case , water (H2O) is the polar molecule and inert gases are the non-polar molecules.

• Now, the polar molecule (being a dipole) induces dipole formation in a nonpolar molecule.

• This results in generation of attractive forces between the two dipoles, and this helps in solubility of the inert gas in water.

• In other words, DEBYE ATTRACTION refers to DIPOLE-INDUCED DIPOLE ATTRACTION.
