Essentially, the only totally non polar covalent compounds are the diatomic molecules of single elements. The polarity of all of the hydrocarbons is also very low.

Are covalent compounds soluble in hexane?
It depends on the compound. nonpolar covalent compounds will generally be soluble whie polar covalent compounds will not be.
Are covalent compounds soluble in nonpolar solvents?
YES They are
Were there any nonpolar compounds that had polar covalent bonds If so which ones Explain this apparent this inconsistency?
CBr4 and SO3 have polar covalent bonds, yet they are nonpolar compounds. The shape of each molecule enables the charges to be distributed evenly, rather than being concentrated in one area. As a result, the molecule as a whole is nonpolar.
What is an example of a solid covalent compound?
PCl5 Phosphorous pentachloride, such covalently bonded compounds are actually MOLECULAR SOLIDS.
Is pentane nonpolar covalent polar covalent or ionic?
pentane is nonpolar covalent compound

What contains a nonpolar covalent bond?
Many compounds between nonmetals have this type of bond.
What are Nonpolar organic molecules are good examples of?
Hydrophobic compounds

We further separate covalent bonds into polar covalent and nonpolar covalent what would have to be the case for a bond to be a nonpolar covalent?
In a nonpolar covalent bond the difference between the electronegativities of the two atoms are not significant.
What do nonpolar covalent molecules share?
Nonpolar Covalent Bonds share electrons
If oxygen which has an electronegativity of 3.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegativity of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as what polar bond?
nonpolar!
What properties do most covalent compounds have in common?
Most molecular compounds do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
