Dipole-dipole forces

What is the difference between miscible and immiscible liquids?

Miscible liquids dissolve together, while immiscible liquids do not mix together. (correct)

Miscible liquids have stronger intermolecular forces, while immiscible liquids have weaker intermolecular forces.

Miscible liquids have higher melting and boiling points, while immiscible liquids have lower melting and boiling points.

Miscible liquids are hydrophilic, while immiscible liquids are hydrophobic.
