Discuss how water can dissolve a molecular compond?

Water dissolves some molecular compounds because water is a polar molecule.


Water dissolves many ionic and molecular compounds why?

because it is a polar molecule


Are covalent molecular compounds soluble?

Solubility of a substance in water depends on the type of interaction predominates in the compound and the solvent.The solubility of any compound follows the principle "like dissolves like".So if a covalent molecular compound is polar then it dissolves in a polar solvent and if it is non polar or hydrophobic then it dissolves in a nonpolar solvent


What dissolves many ionic and molecular compounds because of its?

water, because of its polarity. This is caused by the oxygen molecule having a higher electron affinity, which means that the electrons of the hydrogen molecules more or less hang out around the oxygen causing the oxygen to be partially negative and the hydrogen ends to be partially positive. This is what is called a dipole moment which is why ionic (positive or negatively charged) and molecular (polar covalent) compounds are able to dissociate in the solvent(water).


Why dont molecular compounds conduct electricity when dissolves in water?

Molecular compounds are charge neutral. Molecular compounds dissolve in water as individual molecules. For example if 1.0g of C12H22011 (sucrose or table sugar) dissolves in water the solid will become many individual C12H22011 molecules floating in water but will remain charge neutral. Therefore, this solution does not conduct electricity. This is known as a nonelectrolyte solution. On the other hand, when ionic compounds, like NaCl (table salt), are dissolved in solution they break up into individual ions. In this case Na+ and Cl-. These ions with their respective charges make the solution electrically conductive. This is called an electrolyte solution.


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.


How water disssolves ion compounds and polar compounds?

Like dissolves like. Water is polar solvent and hence it dissolves ionic and polar compounds.


Does water dissolve most things?

Yes. Water is known as a very good solvent mostly because of its ionic structure. Mostly water dissolves ionic compounds because of the like dissolves like.

Does water dissolve ionic compounds because water molecules have a pH value of 14?

Water does not have a pH of 14. By convention water has a pH of 7. Water dissolves ionic compounds because it is a polar liquid.


Is sugar insoulble?

Sugar is soluble because it dissolves in water.


Is a nonpolar compound miscible with water?

No, nonpolar compounds are typically not miscible with water because water is a polar molecule. Polar compounds dissolve in water due to the similar nature of their molecular structure, while nonpolar compounds do not have the same attraction to water molecules.
