In chemistry, the general rule is "like dissolves like." Thus, a polar ionic compound (all ionic compounds are polar due to the separation of charges on the individual atoms; look up polarity in chemistry textbook if need explanation) will be soluble in a polar solvent, like
E
t
O
H
.
There is much more to it than that however, so visit this page for a nice full explanation. Has mostly to due with lack of dipole moment in non-polar solvent.

non polar solutions consist of molecules that are equally charged on all sides of the molecule. so basically, these molecules keep to themselves and don't interact with other charged molecules, seeing as they're already neutral and stable
polar solutions, on the other hand, consist of molecules that have a difference in charge across the molecule. so the bottom of the molecule might be more negatively charged than the top of the molecule, due to differences in electronegativity of the molecule's atoms. so, if you put some ionic compounds (compounds that are charged) in with these polar molecules, they would readily mix, because they both hold charges and can therefore attract eachother
so essentially, ionic compounds can only mix and dissolve into a polar solution, because polar solutions contain molecules that carry a relative charge, and seeing as ionic compounds are charged, they are attracted to these relatively charged polar molecules, and can therefore mix with them and dissolve into the solution plz mark as brainliest
