Explanation-based with original bindings

Finally, we reiterate that the explanation of the origin of the large negative enthalpy of solvation was based on the local density and the binding energy of the quasi-components L and H. The stabilization of the L component occurs because of its low local density. This shift towards more of the L component carries with it a decrease in energy or enthalpy Hi — Hh < 0). Because of the compensation effect, the same explanation applies to the entropy of solvation one does not need to invoke the concept of structure to explain the negative entropy of solvation.
