Question

covalent substances are______ in water​

Answer 1

Answer:

dissolve

Explanation:

When covalent compounds dissolve in water they break apart into molecules, but not individual atoms. Water is a polar solvent, but covalent compounds are usually nonpolar. This means covalent compounds typically don't dissolve in water, instead making a separate layer on the water's surface. Sugar is one of the few covalent compounds that does dissolve in water because it is a polar covalent compound (i.e., parts of their molecules have a negative side and a positive side), but it still doesn't separate into ions the way ionic compounds do in water. Oil is a non-polar covalent compound, which is why it doesn't dissolve in water.

Answer 2

covalent compounds are insoluble in water.
