When the ionic compound LiCl is added to the polar solvent CH3COCH3 (acetone), the positive lithium ions (Li+) and negative chloride ions (Cl-) are attracted to the polar molecules of the solvent. The solvent surrounds and separates the ions, allowing them to become dispersed in the solution, which is how the salt dissolves.
In one to two sentences, describe the process by which the ionic compound, Licl, would dissolve in the polar solvent, CH3COCH3 Write it like a 10th grader
