This statement is not correct in every instance. For example, compounds such as bromine and iodine moderately (considerably) soluble in water.

∙ 10y agoIonic compounds are soluble in water because it a very polar compound. Ionic compounds are also very polar and thus very soluble. The water solvates each ion in the ionic compound. The negative ion of the ionic compound will be surrounded by water molecules with the hydrogen atoms closest. The positive ion of the ionic compound will be surrounded by water molecules with the oxygen atoms closest.
Ionic compounds dissolve in the presence of water because the positive components of the compound are attracted to the negative charges. Then the negative charges of the compound are attracted to the positive charges of the water on the other hand. When this happens, the ionic bonds of the compound break as a result of the interaction between the water and the salt crystals. As the ions of the salt bind with the hydrogen and oxygen components of the water, each ion is surrounded by it creating a shell of polar water molecules with the broken ions from the salt in the middle.

∙ 12y agoionic compounds are soluble in water because the forces between water particles are similar in strenght to those in the solids. Not soluble in organic solvents because the forces between organic solvents particles are much weaker (meeker).
I hope that answered your question.

∙ 12y agoWater exhibits molecular polarity. This means it has positive an negative charges at regions called dipoles. These dipoles are similar to the charges that ions have, but are not quite as strong in the case of water. Ions are simply components of ionic compounds. When an ionic compound is mixed with water it will typically dissolve because the positive and negative charges will rip apart, or ionize, the ionic compound into its ion components.

These biological compounds are non-polar and insoluble in water?
Lipids are not soluble in water.
What organic compound is generally insoluble in water (hydrophobic)?
mostly all organic compounds are insoluble in water because water is a polar solvent and organic compounds are non polar . non polar substances are soluble only in non polar solvents like benzene etc.
What substance is not soluble in water?
actually in chemical bonding we discuss two type of compounds one is polar and one is non polar compounds. in both of these two only polar compounds are soluble in water and non polar compounds are not soluble in water and they are soluble in polar solvents like benzene and CCl4.
Is gasoline a non polar compound?
Yes, if it is insoluble in water it must be non-polar.
Why ionic compounds are not soluble in non aqueous solution like petrol?
Like dissolves like. Ionic compounds are polar and are generally insoluble in non-polar solvents like petrol.

What is true of most organic compounds?
Most of the organic compounds are solids, combustible, non polar and insoluble in water.

Why is 1 decanol insoluble in water?
Because above 90% molecule of 1-decanol is non polar and insoluble in polar water.
What things are insoluble in water?
non-polar molecules
Why ionic compounds are not soluble in non aqueous solution like petrol?
Like dissolves like. Ionic compounds are polar and are generally insoluble in non-polar solvents like petrol.
What is soluble in oil but insoluble in water?
There are many compounds that are soluble in oil but not water. These compounds include alkanes and other organic molecules that are mostly nonpolar. Even long-chain alcohols are soluble in oil but not water, though one part of the molecule is polar.
Why are most simple carbohydrates soluble in water and insoluble in liquids such as hexane?
Because water is polar and hexane is non polar which makes it insoluble
Hydrophilic compounds polar or non polar?
Hydrophilic compounds are polar or ionic and this is the reason for attraction of water towards these substances.
Which macromolecules are insoluble in water but dissolvable non polar solvents?
lipid
