Answer:

is soluble in organic solvent while is insoluble because has more covalent character than . Explanation: Size of zinc is smaller than the size of magnesium because when we move from left to right in a periodic table then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms.

Answer:

No matter, the main reason is the MgCl2 is much more ionic and this is assessed by the difference in electronegativity (EN) between Mg and Cl vs between Zn and Cl. The small the difference (in an absolute difference) the more covalent the bonds will be and therefore more soluble in organic (non-polar) solvents
