Because water is also a polar compound. It is a great solvent, but substances that water dissolves must be either polar or charged ionic compounds, made from negatively and positively charged atoms. Polar water attracts polar molecules and ions and pushes out non-polar and non-charged substances.

Why do solid crystals of ionic compounds conduct electricity when the crystals dissolve in water?
NaCl Add water. Na + Cl - Electrons have flowed and that is all electricity is, electron flow.
Are crystals dissolvable in hot or cold water?
it all depends on which crystals you mean, salt crystals can dissolve in both hot and cold water they dissolve quicker in hot water as the hot water acts as a catalyst for this
Which solutes dissolve in water?
Ionic
What crystals dissolve in water?
Sugar! :d
Do polar and ionic compounds dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds, for one, can dissolve in water. They split up into oppositely charged ions when dissolved in water.
