Question

Electrovalent compounds dissolve in water whereas covalent compounds do not .Explain

Answer 1

The electrovalent compounds are soluble in water, because of the increased interaction between the polar water molecules and the ions of the electrovalent compounds, while the covalent compounds do not contain ions, which can interact with polar water molecules, therefore, they are not soluble in water.

Hope you find it useful

Answer 2

Hey friend
--------------

Ans•• Electrovalent compounds as we all know are formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal. Also Electrovalent compounds are called ionic compounds because they contain ions. Since they contain ions They could dissociate it easily in water and hence, they dissove.

But in the case of covalent compounds, They are formed by sharing of electrons. So no ions are present in them. That is why..they don't dissolve.
