Question

why do ionic compounds dissolve in polar solutions and covalent compounds dossolve in non polar solutions​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvents because, polar solvents like water decrease the electrostatic forces of attraction, resulting in free ions in aqueous solution. Hence, ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents.

Covalent compounds dissolve in non polar solution because, the oppositely charged moeities of the two compounds attract each other and the compounds thus dissociate and ionize into ions thus resulting in dissolution.
