What is the name the property of water in which it sticks to other substances?
The attraction between water molecules and another substance is called adhesion. An example of this phenomenon is the absorption of water by a towel. Water molecules are also attracted to each other by cohesion. Adhesion and cohesion of water are both caused by the polarity of water molecules. Molecules are said to be polar if they have opposite electrical charges at different ends of the molecule. Nonpolar molecules have none or evenly distributed charges (oil is an example of a nonpolar substance). Since opposite charges attract, water is attracted to other polar (or ionic) substances.

Why are some substances soluble and some insoluble?
some substances are soluble and some arn't because it all depends on the particles. If the particles of a substance are attracted to it's own particles and not the waters then it is insoluble, but if the substance is more attracted to the water's particles then it's own's, it is soluble.
