Solubility of a substance in water depends on the type of interaction predominates in the compound and the solvent.The solubility of any compound follows the principle "like dissolves like".So if a covalent molecular compound is polar then it dissolves in a polar solvent and if it is non polar or hydrophobic then it dissolves in a nonpolar solvent
It depends on the compound. nonpolar covalent compounds will generally be soluble whie polar covalent compounds will not be.
ionic compounds are more soluble than covalent.
YES They are
There are more than two. In general: Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points while ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when melted, while covalent compounds are not. Ionic compounds are soluble in water, while covalent compounds are soluble in non-polar liquids. These are the essentials, but other differences exist. All of these are generalizations, exceptions do occur.
alchohols and amines are water soluble due to H-bonding with water .they are poler covalent compound there fore they are soleble in water.

Often - yes. the reason they break apart is the hydration energy of the ions- many ionic compounds are soluble in water and dissociate into ions, however there are ionic solids such as CaCO3 which are not soluble. The bonds in covalent compunds are often not broken- for example thise in alkanes. However there are covalent compounds which do react with water and dissolve.
Covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds are soft and squishy. Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in water. Covalent compounds aren't usually very soluble in water.
Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is also ionic compound and insoluble in kerosene oil because there is covalent bonds
The polar covalent compounds are easily soluble in water as HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, Glucose and most of the sugars, Sugar has many polar covalent bonds, in the C-O-H groups, and the molecules of sugar fit easily into the hydrogen bonded microstructure of liquid water.
If the compounds are polar covalent then they are soluble in water . If they contain high electronegative element like F,O and N ,water can form inter molecular hydrogen bond with those compounds.
It is a saturated hydrocarbon. It is a covalent compound and has all properties which are identical to simple covalent compounds. Low boiling and melting points, soluble in organic solvents (most simple covalent compounds are soluble in organic solvent), insoluble in water and does not conduct electricity as in does not have free ions.Its tetrahedral geometry makes it non-polar.It contains four hydrogen atoms
