why ionic compounds are usually soluble in water but not in organic solvents like ether, benzene etc.?

Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvents and insoluble in non-polar solvents. ... Non-polar solvents like kerosene, benzene are not capable of dissolving ionic solids since they can not decrease the forces of attraction between the ions.
please mark me as brainliest. I beg you mate. this is perfectly right. believe me. . .

what are polar solvents?
Polar solvents have large dipole moments (aka “partial charges”); they contain bonds between atoms with very different electronegativities, such as oxygen and hydrogen. Non polar solvents contain bonds between atoms with similar electronegativities, such as carbon and hydrogen (think hydrocarbons, such as gasoline)
ohh thank you so much
No problem it's my pleasure to help you
