because it is a polar molecule

How water disssolves ion compounds and polar compounds?
Like dissolves like. Water is polar solvent and hence it dissolves ionic and polar compounds.
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 are the properties of molecular compounds different from those of ionic cmpounds?
Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
How do ionic and molecular compounds differ in physical properties?
Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions. Ionic compounds are usually solid at room temperature, while molecular compounds can be solid, liquid, or gas. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while molecular compounds do not.
Do ionic compounds such as chloride dissolves easily in water?
I classify that as an overstatement. It is true that a great many ionic compounds are highly soluble in water, but not all of them.
How do aqueous solutions of ionic and molecular compounds differ?
Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds consist of ions dissolved in water, while solutions of molecular compounds consist of intact molecules dispersed in water. Ionic compounds dissociate into ions in water, leading to electrolytic behavior, while molecular compounds usually do not conduct electricity in solution unless they ionize.
What type of compound dissolves easily in water?
Ionic compounds are easily dissolved.
How do solutions in water of molecular compounds and ionic compounds differ?
Molecular compounds in water form solutions where the molecules remain intact and dispersed individually. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, dissociate into ions when in water, resulting in conductive solutions due to the presence of charged particles. Additionally, molecular compounds generally do not conduct electricity in solution.
Sodium chloride dissolves in water because it is a blank compound?
ionic However, it should be noted that not all ionic compounds are water soluble.
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.
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.
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).
