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.
Which of these compounds ionic charged non-polar and polar would be least likely to dissolve in water?
Non-polar.
Do ionic compounds dissolve in nonpolar compounds?
Ionic compounds do not dissolve in non-polar compounds. They can dissolve only in polar compounds. Dissolution is actually dissociation of the ionic compounds and the polar solvent into constituent ions and development of weak forces of attraction called hydrogen bonds. The dissociation is not necessarily complete always.
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.
Why are ionic compounds insoluble in organic compounds?
It isn't strictly true, but generally ionic compounds are not highly soluble in organic solvents because ionic compounds need a highly polar solvent to dissolve well (such as water) and in general organic compounds are not as polar as water. Remember, like dissolves like. However, many ionic compounds are very soluble in a variety of organic solvents, just not as much as in water.
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.
Why cant salt dissolve in water?
it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
How can water dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds?
Water can dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds because of its polarity. It is polar enough to dissolve ionic compounds into their ions. Water does not dissolve molecular compounds by breaking covalent bonds, but through intermolecular forces.
Which of these compounds ionic charged non-polar and polar would be least likely to dissolve in water?
Non-polar.
What type of compounds can dissolve in water?
The general rule for solvation is like dissolves like. Water is a very polar molecule. Thus, water best dissolves polar substances, including ionic and polar covalent substances.
Why does NaCl dissolve in an aqueous solution?
Because sodium chloride and water are ionic compounds.
Do ionic compounds dissolve in nonpolar compounds?
Ionic compounds do not dissolve in non-polar compounds. They can dissolve only in polar compounds. Dissolution is actually dissociation of the ionic compounds and the polar solvent into constituent ions and development of weak forces of attraction called hydrogen bonds. The dissociation is not necessarily complete always.
Can water dissolve water compounds?
yea water can dissolve polar compounds
Why can water dissolve so many compounds?
Water, (h2o) is a polar compound, wherein it has a magnetic charge. This charge attracts an opposite charge such as salt and decouples the sodium chloride ion.
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.
What substances will dissolve into ions when combined with pure water?
Ionic compounds, such as Na+Cl-, H+Cl-; or polar compounds such as glucose.
