Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A diagram for a formula unit of lithium bromide
Concept introduction:
Dissolution is the process of making a solution of a solid substance. The solid dissolve by breaking into its molecules and solvent particles surround them due to forces of attraction between the solid and solvent.
(b)
Interpretation:
