Question

why dont covalent compounds ( polar ) dissolve in water????

Answer 1

hii there,

COVALENT COMPOUNDS DONT
__________________________
DISSOLVE IN WATER, WHY?
______________________

--The general reason is that the 'system', that is molecule plus solvent, will move into its lowest energy state.
--This means that if breaking the weakest bond and solvating the ions produced, is of lowest energy then this will occur. 
--in easy words, u can say tht they dont produce ions in water for dissociation.

Answer 2

hii friend!!

the covalent compounds does not dissolve in water just because that they do not have any ions in them they do not conduct electricity in water, all are not undissolveable but some dissolves....therefore, many compounds are not dissolveable.


hope this helps you mark as brainliest!

thank you!
