After watching a programee on TV about the adverse effects of junk food and soft drink on the health of school children, Sonali, a student of class XII, discussed the issue with the school principal. Principal immediately instructed the canteen contractor to replace the fast food with the fibre and vitamins rich food like sprouts, salad, fruits etc. This decision was welcomed by the parents and the students.

$CCl_4$ and water are immiscible whereas ethanol and water are miscible in all proportions. Correlate this behaviour with molecular structure of these compounds.$CCl_4$ is a non-polar covalent compound, whereas water is a polar compound. $CCl_4$​​​​​​​ can neither form hydrogen bonds with water molecules nor can it break hydrogen bonds between water molecule, therefore, it is insoluble in water. Ethanol is a polar compound and can form hydrogen bonds with water, which is a polar solvent, therefore it is miscible with water in all proportions.
