Because it has 2 double bonds. An ether might not have any double or triple bonds!

This is incorrect. Furan is readily soluble in ether. Furan is partially polar because of its oxygen molecule. Ether is also mildly polar because of its own oxygen.

Why is ether insoluble in water?

The rule states that "like dissolves in like". Since sucrose is a polar covalent compound, it can only dissolve in solvents that are polar. However, petroleum isnt a polar covalent compound, thus compunds that are not covalent will dissolve in it.


why is it that sodium chloride is insoluble in ether?

Ether has a lower dielectric constant than water. Therefore, the energy required to separate the cations from the anions in ether is greater than in water. The entropy gain that could result from converting solid salt to a solution is therefore not great enough to overcome the attractions between the ions in ether, but it is great enough in water.


Is sodium chloride is soluble in ether?

Sodium chloride is highly polar (ionic in fact) where hexane is very not. The two don't attract at all, so each is insoluble in the other.
