Explanation:
◆ IONIC COMPOUNDS - The chemical compounds formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from one atom of an element to one atom of another element are called Ionic compounds.
◆ SOLUBILITY - Ionic or Electrovalent Compounds are soluble in polar solvents like water.
◆ FACT BEHIND THIS - As water is a polar solvent, it decreases the electrostatic forces of attraction, resulting in free ions in aqueous solutions. Hence, ionic compounds are dissolved (or, soluble) in water.
