Question

Give reason for the following:
Electrovalent compounds dissolve in water, whereas covalent compounds do not.

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.
