Water is a liquid and is usually considered to be the solvent. Water dissolves solutes. Many ionic compounds, but not all, are soluble in water. Water has negative and positive areas on the molecule so it is ideally suited to dissolving the negative and positive ions of an ionic substance. Purely covalent compounds, non-polar, are not supported by water so do not dissolve. Purely covalent, non-polar compounds have no negative and positive areas for the water to support.
Ionic 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.
ionic compounds split into individual ions were as covalent compounds dissolves and is surrounded by water molecules
Ionic compounds dissociate when they dissolve in water.
Ionic compounds are those which form ions when dissolve in water.water is ionic compound because when it dissolve in water it ionizes in to H+ and OH-Therefore ionic compounds are soluble in water. Ionic compounds are not soluble in kerosine oil because there is covalent bond in it. THANKS FOR WATCHING BY FARIDA REHMAN.

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.

The water molecule has a covalent bond. Since there is no other kind of water, "covalent water" is redundant. That's what water is. There is no ionic water (although ionic compounds often dissolve in water).

Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Ionic compounds, for one, can dissolve in water. They split up into oppositely charged ions when dissolved in water.
yes
They dissolve
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.
