One of the biggest factors in dissolving speed in the type of bonds its atoms have. The most soluble substances are ionic, meaning that a positive ion (usually an Alkali metal or Alkali Earth metal, like sodium) is attracted to a negative ion (always a non-metal or metaloid like chlorine). In the examples I gave, chlorine would bond with sodium to form salt.
Less soluble than ionic substances, covalant substances are formed when atoms share electrons in their outer (valant) electron shell in order to attain the stable electron configuration of a noble gas.
The least soluble is metallic bonding, which happens strictly between metals, and mostly in transition metals. This is when all the metal atoms band together in a group, with all the electrons on the outside.

What is a substance that will not dissolve into another substance?
A substance that does not dissolve is insoluble.
Will a substance dissolve faster if it is ground into powder first?
The dissolution rate of a substance is affected by the surface area that can react with the liquid it is dissolving in. Powdering it increases the surface area so it increases the dissolving rate.
Does hydrophilic dissolve in waTER?
A hydrophilic substance will dissolve in water. A hydroPHOBIC substance will not.
How does the amount of a substance effect the rate of it dissolving?
Well the more of the substance u put the more it takes longer. for example if u r having a cup of tea and u put 3 teaspoons of sugar it would take longer to dissolve rather than 2 teaspoons.
What 4 things affect how fast a substance dissolve?
The particle size,temperature and agitation affect the rate at which a substance will disolve in a solution.
How does cold liquid affect the rate at which a substance dissolves?
Colder temperatures make molecules move more slowly. Since molecules are moving more slowly, they are less likely to 'bump' into each other and interact. When you are trying to dissolve a substance, you want as many interactions as possible between the substance you want to dissolve and the liquid you are trying to dissolve it in. Since the cold temperature slows down the rate of these interactions, it slows down the rate at which a substance dissolves.
How does temperature effect the rate od dissolving sugar?
it makes it faster to dissolve
Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate at which rocks weather?
Water
Does ink and salt dissolve in water at same rate at same temperatures?
no, ink is a more thicker substance

How does catalysis affect te rate in which substances will dissolve?
a substance that inreases the rate of reation by lowering the activation-energy barrier. the catalyst is not used up in the reaction.
What type of substance will dissolve in a nonpolar substance?
A non-polar substance will dissolve in a non-polar substance. Like dissolves like.
What 4 things affect how fast a substance dissolve?
The particle size,temperature and agitation affect the rate at which a substance will disolve in a solution.
When you dissolve a substance in a liquid do you get an alloy compound or a solution?
When you dissolve a substance in a liquid you get a solution.
