it breaks up into individual crystals.
A non polar compound would be least likely to dissolve in water.
what happens when they are exposed to water
The polarity or charges of compounds will determine if a compound would dissolve in water, where compounds with opposite charges within their molecules dissolve in water.
yes
An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.
it dissolve in the water
phenols
When a hydrophilic compound is mixed with water, it readily interacts with the water molecules, typically through hydrogen bonding or ionic interactions. This interaction allows the hydrophilic compound to dissolve or disperse in the water, resulting in a homogeneous solution. The ability of the hydrophilic compound to attract and interact with water molecules is key to this process.

Non-polar compounds are least likely to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent and non-polar compounds do not interact well with polar substances. Ionic compounds and charged compounds are more likely to dissolve in water due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules.
A non-polar compound is not miscible with water, which is a polar solvent. Hence, we cannot dissolve a non-polar compound inside water. Thus, when you mix them together within a container, the compound and water will continue to stay as 2 miscible distinct layers.
It is an Ionic compound just as water is.
