Question

A metal combines with a non metal to form a compound Y. Will it dissolve in an

organic solvent or not?​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes, it will dissolve in it.

as it become neutral

Answer 2

Answer:

No, the compound formed will not dissolve in an organic solvent.

As, we know that "like dissolves like", so polar compounds get dissolved in polar solvents whereas non-polar compounds get dissolved in non-polar solvents.

Since, Y is formed by the transfer of electrons forming an ionic bond.

Ionic bonds are highly polar in nature whereas the organic solvents are non-polar in nature. So, the compound formed will not get dissolved in the organic solvent.
