solventinteracties
Solvent interactions refer to the physical and chemical forces that occur between solvent molecules themselves and between solvent molecules and solute molecules. These interactions play a crucial role in determining the solubility of substances, the rates of chemical reactions, and the physical properties of solutions, such as viscosity and boiling point.
The primary types of solvent interactions are intermolecular forces. These include van der Waals forces (dispersion
When a solute dissolves in a solvent, new interactions are formed between the solvent and solute molecules,
Solvent interactions also influence reaction kinetics by stabilizing or destabilizing transition states. The polarity and hydrogen-bonding
