Question

Noble gases are soluble in water due to ______ interaction.

Answer 1

Noble gases are soluble in water due to dipole-induced dipole interaction.

Explanation:

Although noble gases are non-polar, they dissolve slightly in water due to dipole-induced dipole interactions. The polar water molecules polarise the electron cloud of noble gas atoms, forming induced dipoles. These induced dipoles interact weakly with water molecules, making noble gases slightly soluble in water.
