Organic compounds that are poorly soluble in water behave that way because they are 1 moderately polar 2 covalently bonded 3 generally nonpolar 4 highly polar 5 ionically bonded?

nonpolar, they're electronegativities between the carbon and hydrogen atoms are less than 0.7.. making it a nonpolar covalent bond

Do sugars ionize to an appreciable extent when dissolved in water?
no, only ionically bonded compounds can, sugar is covalently bonded.
What happens when sodium and chlorine join into a molecule?
Sodium and chlorine do not technically form molecules, but instead an ionically bonded salt. The proper term for what corresponds to a molecule in covalently bonded compounds is "formula unit" for ionically bonded compounds.
Is Freon a more covalently bonded or ionically bonded?
covalently bonded
Is calcium a ionic or covalent bond?
Calcium is a metallic element and is not bonded covalently or ionically. It tends to form ionic compounds when it does react.
Is a compound held together by opposite charges?
Ionically bonded compounds are held together by opposite charges on the anions and cations that constitute the compound. Covalently bonded compounds and metals are held together by other means.

What consists of?
Ionically bonded compounds.
Why is it important for nucleotides of DNA to bond covalently instead of ionically?
so they cant disolve
Ionic bonds occur in inorganic compounds?
Ionic bonds do hold many inorganic compounds together (there are many covalently bonded inorganic compunds too) and organic compounds all contain carbon which always participates in a covalent bond.
What consists of ions?
Ionically bonded compounds.
What is smallest unit of compound?
molecules Why Molecules? Did u tell that? Please improve this answer because I want to know why.
Do any compounds exist only as an atom?
No, a single atom would have to belong to a particular element. A compound must contain two or more different types of atom that are chemically bonded (either covalently or ionically) together.
