Is baby oil covalent or ionic compound and why?
Baby oil is a covalent compound; it is organic, based on carbon chemistry, which produces covalent bonds; we also see that it is a liquid and not a solid, which would not be expected if it were an ionic compound. Ionic compounds, except when they dissolve in water, are solid (at normal temperatures).
Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in kerosene oil?
Ionic compounds are those which form ions when dissolve in water.water is ionic compound because when it dissolve in water it ionizes in to H+ and OH-Therefore ionic compounds are soluble in water. Ionic compounds are not soluble in kerosine oil because there is covalent bond in it. THANKS FOR WATCHING BY FARIDA REHMAN.
Is wax ionic or covalent?
Parafin is another term for hydrocarbons, which contain only carbon-carbon, and carbon-hydrogen single bonds. These atoms are similar in electronegativity, and thus paraffins are covalent compounds.
Does oil have a polar covalent bond?
No. If oil did have a polar covalent bond, that would make it hydrophilic (attracted to water) and oil is hydrophobic (repels water). All the covalent bonds in the hydrocarbon tails are non-polar covalent.
Is oil an ionic or covalent bond?
Oils are complex mixtures of many organic compounds (nonionic compounds). All chemical compounds contain molecules.
Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in keroscene oil?
Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is also ionic compound and insoluble in kerosene oil because there is covalent bonds

Is candle wax ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent also what type of bonding does sugar salt and olive oil have?
Candle wax is covalent! Olive oil is non polar covalent. Because it can not disolve in water and water is polar.

How can you make salt dissolvable in oil?
Salt will dissolve in oil very slightly but not truly. salt is an ionic compound (it has a positive/negative side) and oil is usually covalent (there is no charge). The rule for solubility of compounds is that like dissolves like, so ionic dissolves ionic and covalent dissolves covalent.
What types of substances dissolve in water?
In general, polar molecules. Oil, a no polar substance, does not dissolve in water.
Is vegetable oil an ionic or covalent bond?
Generally speaking, your oils (canola, olive, vegetable, even baby) are covalent or molecular compounds (they mean the same thing.) Most oils are some combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and maybe another element or two. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are all non-metals, and non-metals bond to each other covalently, which means they share electrons. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, involve a transfer of electrons, and result in the bonding of metals with non-metals (not the case with oil.)

Does salt dissolve in mineral oil?
Oil, being a non-polar covalent compound is not soluble in water, which is a polar solvent. Salts (not limited to NaCl, but all ionic salts,) being ionic compounds that disassociate in solution to form charged ions, are highly soluble in water.
Does oil have a polar covalent bond?
No. If oil did have a polar covalent bond, that would make it hydrophilic (attracted to water) and oil is hydrophobic (repels water). All the covalent bonds in the hydrocarbon tails are non-polar covalent.
Is sunflower oil covalent or ionic?
Sun flower oil is an unsaturated fat, basically a glycerol head and long chains of carbon hydrogen bonds. So, definitely covalent.
Is oil an ionic or covalent bond?
Oils are complex mixtures of many organic compounds (nonionic compounds). All chemical compounds contain molecules.
