Hydrophobic compounds are non-polar compounds. This means that they have symmetric distribution in charge, and they are not water soluble.

How do you break compounds into ions?
only compounds with the (aq) state symbol
What electric charge do all compounds have?
zero
What does a solute need to dissolve in a solvent?
A general principal to follow is like dissolves like. For instance, water, a polar molecule with a small charge distribution, is very good at dissolving ionic compounds, which are made of charged ions.
What is Molecules that have an unequal distribution of charge are called?
Molecules that have an unequal distribution of electrons are calle
Why do some compounds have no charge?
Strictly, all compounds have no charge. What would be a compound if neutral but actually has a charge should properly be called an ion. Some compounds, such as the diatomic molecules of the elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, have perfectly symmetrical covalent bonds without even any polarity. Most covalent bonds between dissimilar atoms have some polarity, as do all ionicly bonded compounds, but this does not mean that the compounds themselves have net electrical charge.
Why are many sulphate compounds soluble but some are not?
If you mean why are they soluble in water, it is because the hydrogen in water has a slight positive charge and the oxygen in water has a slight negative charge, making an ionic compound (such as one containing sulphate) which has charges itself, readily soluble to adjoin these charges.
Why does a precipitate form when two ionic compounds are mixed?
Precipitates between two ionic compounds only occur when the compounds formed are not soluble in the medium they're created in, like lead iodide Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI => Pb2+ + 2NO3- + 2K+ + 2I- => 2K+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + PbI2 (s) Precipitates between two ionic compounds only occur when the compounds formed are not soluble in the medium they're created in, like lead iodide Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI => Pb2+ + 2NO3- + 2K+ + 2I- => 2K+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + PbI2 (s)

What is the ionic charge of chlorine in its compounds?
In ionic chlorine compounds, the ionic charge of chlorine is -1.
What is the overall charge of most compounds?
Compounds can be charged by different methods. But naturally most of the compounds are uncharged. So the overall charge of most compounds is neutral.
What type of charge do compounds have-?
By definition, all compounds must have a net electrical charge of 0.
Charge on nitrogen monoxide?
Zero, compounds do not have charge.
Why is it that NaCl dissolves so well in water but many other ionic compounds do not?
It all depends on the ionic compound you are trying to dissolve in the water. There are several rules for this thing, called solubility rules. For example, Sodium Chloride is soluble because all 1A compounds (compounds with metals from the 1A column) are soluble in water. There are other solubility laws at this website. I think you will find it very helpful when trying to determine what does and does not dissolve in water. http://www.files.chem.vt.edu/RVGS/ACT/notes/solubility_rules.html
What is the ionic charge on chlorine compounds?
The compounds themselves are no charged. The chlorine itself, though, takes on a 1- charge.
What is an even charge distribution?
Nonpolar
What charge do all compounds have?
zero
What is the ionic charge of oxide in its compounds?
Oxide ions have a charge of -2.
