Question

From class 10 point of view, is Ehene soluble in water?
if yes, then how ?

What role does carbon atoms have in telling the solubility of the carbon compound?

Answer 1

Ethene (c2h4) is soluble in water slightly because they are non polar and water is polar. When non polar molecule approached a polar molecule , the latter induces polarity in the formar momentarily. This induction arises due to interaction between the electronic clouds of two molecules. During this short lived polarity, gas molecule is attracted by water molecule thus causing solubility
