# A sample of krypton gas, \(\text{Kr}\), dissolves to a small extent in liquid water, \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\), at \(298\text{ K}\). Which of the following correctly identifies the primary type of intermolecular attraction between the solute and solvent particles, and the species that acts as the induced dipole?

A sample of krypton gas, \(\text{Kr}\), dissolves to a small extent in liquid water, \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\), at \(298\text{ K}\). Which of the following correctly identifies the primary type of intermolecular attraction between the solute and solvent particles, and the species that acts as the induced dipole?

- **A.** Dipole-dipole forces, with \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) acting as the induced dipole
- **B.** Dipole-induced dipole forces, with \(\text{Kr}\) acting as the induced dipole
- **C.** Dipole-induced dipole forces, with \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) acting as the induced dipole
- **D.** London dispersion forces, with \(\text{Kr}\) acting as the induced dipole
