Question

phosphorus compounds (like phosphate) are known to interact strongly with water.
what chemical interaction do you predict an arsenic - chlorine compound would have with water?
why?

Explanation:

Arsenic - chlorine compounds are non - polar. Water is a polar molecule. According to the "like dissolves like" principle, non - polar substances do not interact strongly with polar substances.

Answer:

An arsenic - chlorine compound would not interact strongly with water. Because arsenic - chlorine compounds are non - polar and water is polar, and non - polar substances do not have strong interactions with polar substances (based on the "like dissolves like" principle).
