Some salts may be, but typically they are not.
Candle wax is covalent! Olive oil is non polar covalent. Because it can not disolve in water and water is polar.

Polar Covalent.
Polar Covalent
Polar
H2O has polar covalent bonds, not non-polar covalent bonds.
Carbon monoxide has a polar covalent bond.
A solvent is polar if its molecules contain highly polar covalent bonds, for example water, or ionic bonds, for example molten salt.
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
Because water is polar (as is salt) whereas paint-thinner is not polar. Consider the rule "like dissolves like". non-polar covalent solvents (paint thinner) will not dissolve polar solutes (salt)
Benzoic acid is a polar covalent molecule due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen. The carboxyl group in benzoic acid contains a polar covalent bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, making the molecule overall polar.
