Oil is predominantly composed of nonpolar molecules like triglycerides, which are held together by covalent bonds between the atoms within each molecule. There are no significant ionic interactions in oil.

Is it true that oil is covalent and water is ionic.?

No, both oil and water are covalent compounds. Oil is made up of nonpolar covalent molecules, while water is a polar covalent molecule. Ionic compounds are typically formed between metals and nonmetals, like salt (NaCl).


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.

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).


Is candle wax ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent also what type of bonding does sugar salt and olive oil have?
