Explanation:
Water molecules are polar and can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Because hexane and carbon tetrachloride have similar attractive intermolecular forces, their molecules can mix readily, and hexane dissolves in carbon tetrachloride. Hexane cannot form hydrogen bonds with water.
