water is a polar solvent, it has both a negative and a positive end to it and can therefore surround both the positive and negative ions in a giant ionic lattice, this allows water to break down the solid.

What bond are disrupted in the presence of water?
Water disrupts many ionic bonds, causing the ionic compound to dissolve in the water.
Do ionic bonds dissolve in water?
This is a wrong question. Ionic bonding is a term referring to the attractive forces between the charged ions of an ionic compound. If you meant to ask " Do ionic compounds dissolve in water? ", the answer is yes. Most of them do. This is because the polar water molecules are easily separate the ions in the ionic solid. However, for unknown reasons, some ionic compounds do not dissolve in water. An example is Silver Chloride.
To dissolve an ionic solid in water, you must first disrupt the ionic bonds holding the ionic lattice together This is an endothermic process Yet many ionic solids have an exothermic heat of solutio?
More energy is released when water molecules surround the ions.

Are ionic compounds more likely to dissolve in water than covalent compounds?
Often - yes. the reason they break apart is the hydration energy of the ions- many ionic compounds are soluble in water and dissociate into ions, however there are ionic solids such as CaCO3 which are not soluble. The bonds in covalent compunds are often not broken- for example thise in alkanes. However there are covalent compounds which do react with water and dissolve.

Does water dissolve most salts?
Water dissolve many ionic salts because water has a polar molecule.
Explain why water is able to dissolve many ionic compounds?

Why do all ionic compounds dissolve in water?
Many ionic compounds do NOT dissolve in water- such as calcium carbonate. The majority do and that is because the solvation of the ions is energetically favourable in those compounds.
How many different molecules can water dissolve?
It is often mentioned that water can dissolve a huge variety of compounds of varying chemical characteristics. Declaring a strict number of such molecules would be almost impossible. It should be said that these compounds cannot be put into a single category. At first, let's take a look at ionic compounds. Being a polar solvent, water can dissolve many ionic compounds by dissociating them into seperate ions and creating hydrated spheres. Eventhough, there are some ionic lattices that do not dissolve, which we usually call as precipitates. When it comes to covalent compounds, many ones with asymmetric polar bonds are dissolved in water such as alcohols, amines etc. In rare cases, non polar compounds also partially dissolve in water, such as bromine and iodine. Generally, it can be also said that, molecules with relatively higher molecular masses, show less tendency to dissolve in water.
How many ionic bonds do Neon form?
Nothing, Neon does not form ionic bonds.
Is water an ionic compound that can dissolve only ions?
No. Water is a largely covalent compound that spontaneously ionizes only to give concentrations of 10-7 molar for each of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. However water also has a high dielectric constant and for that reason can dissolve many ionic compounds. Water can also dissolve sufficiently polar organic compounds, such as sugar, with little or no trace of ionic character.
What is the nature of the substances dissolved in water?
Substances that dissolve in water are polar molecules, like water. Also, many ionic compounds can also dissolve in water as well, such as common table salt, NaCl.
