S-I: Solubility of noble gases in water decreases with increasing size of the noble gas.
S-II: Solubility of noble gases in water is due to dipole induced dipole interaction.
S-II: Solubility of noble gases in water is due to dipole induced dipole interaction.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
S-I is false, S-II is true
Option D is correct because the solubility of noble gases in water increases with increasing size due to increased polarizability and dipole-induced dipole interactions are responsible for their solubility.
