Which best explains why bromine is soluble in mineral oil?
A.) Both substances are liquids
B.) Both substances have similar densities
C.) Both substances are made up of nonpolar molecules
D.) One substance is made up of polar molecules and the other is made up of nonpolar molecules

Bromine is soluble in mineral oil because both substances are made of nonpolar molecules.A solute is highly soluble in a solvent that has the same chemical structure as it has. Bromine is a diatomic molecule that has dipole moments that cancel out to form a non-polar molecular. Mineral oil contains Carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms forming nonpolar molecules.
