Question

Covalent compounds dissolve in organic solvents.give reason

Answer 1

Covalent compounds are non polar. And almost all organic compounds are non polar. According to the rule of the thumb- 'like dissolves like', covalent compounds are soluble in organic solvents. the two which are of the same type- either both polar or both non-polar are dissolves in each other.
