Question

Which option describes covalent solutes?

A: Covalent solutes consist of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and ionization.
B: Covalent solutes consist of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and dissociation.
C: Covalent solutes consist of molecules that share electrons, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and dissociation.
D: Covalent solutes consist of molecules that share electrons, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and ionization.


The answer is not C

Answer 1

D: Covalent solutes consist of molecules that share electrons, and these solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and ionization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Covalent solutes consist of molecules that share electrons in its outermost electron shell. Electrovalent(ionic) solutes one the other hand are formed from transfer of electrons to achieve an octet configuration.

It’s also important to note that the covalent solutes can be dissolved through dispersion and ionization.
