dispersion hydrogen bonding ion-dipole dipole-dipoleExplanation / Answer
MgBr is mostly ionic in nature and we know that ionic/polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents whereas non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. Here polar solvents are: H2O, Acetone, MeOH, EtOH.
Hexane, tolune and CCl4 are non-polar solvents and hence MgBr is not soluble in them.
Disperson force is always present in all cases. there would be ion-dipole in addition to dispersion forces.
