Ionic compounds do not dissolve in non-polar compounds. They can dissolve only in polar compounds. Dissolution is actually dissociation of the ionic compounds and the polar solvent into constituent ions and development of weak forces of attraction called hydrogen bonds. The dissociation is not necessarily complete always.

∙ 8y agoIonic compounds are usually more soluble in polar substances than in water. My chemistry class is currently working on chemical bonding but my teacher avoided informing us about subjects that are actually on the test. So yes, ionic compounds are extremely soluble.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agopolar compounds and ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents as the eletrostatic pulls the compounds apart and thus the compound dissolves
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoyes if it highly ionic, because the different charges pull apart the slightly charged atoms (think of salt, NaCl, in water, H2O)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, they're only soluble and polar solvents.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agono because organic compounds are compounds containing carbons and doesnt dissolve in water.

∙ 11y agoNo. The general rule is that "like dissolves like".

What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.
How do ionic compounds react in water?
They dissolve
Can water dissolve ionic compounds?
yes
Why do all ionic compounds dissolve in water?
Many ionic compounds do NOT dissolve in water- such as calcium carbonate. The majority do and that is because the solvation of the ions is energetically favourable in those compounds.
Do polar and ionic compounds dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds, for one, can dissolve in water. They split up into oppositely charged ions when dissolved in water.
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Why do ionic compounds do not dissolve in organic solvent?
The typical rule for dissolving substances in one another is that substances most readily dissolve other substances with similar bonds. Alkanes are nonpolar because they have mostly nonpolar bonds. On the other hand, ionic compounds have ionic bonds, which are extremely polar. Therefore, because the difference in bond type, ionic compounds do not dissolve in any alkane.
Is iron 3 nitrate miscible with hexane C6H14?
No. Hexane is a nonpolar substance so it would not dissolve ionic compounds.
What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.
Which explains why acetone dissolve nail polish?
a nonpolar solvent will dissolve a nonpolar solute
How can water dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds?
Water can dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds because of its polarity. It is polar enough to dissolve ionic compounds into their ions. Water does not dissolve molecular compounds by breaking covalent bonds, but through intermolecular forces.
Can water dissolve ionic compounds?
yes
How do ionic compounds react in water?
They dissolve
Why do all ionic compounds dissolve in water?
Many ionic compounds do NOT dissolve in water- such as calcium carbonate. The majority do and that is because the solvation of the ions is energetically favourable in those compounds.
Do polar and ionic compounds dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds, for one, can dissolve in water. They split up into oppositely charged ions when dissolved in water.
Does covalent or ionic substances dissolve in water faster?
Ionic compounds
Can ethers dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds?
No it's false nonpolar compounds usually do not dissolve in polar solvents.
