I'm pretty sure it depends on what kind of molecular compounds. Salts and other ionic bonded molecules break down in water.

No, it can't because any ionic substance can be soluble or insolube independant of its phase eg. (liquid or solid)

Is solubility a hydrogen bonding?

Based on the grammar of your question, you have no idea what solubility is. Solubility- the degree to which a substance can dissolve in a solvent(usually water). Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force of attraction that decreases relative solubility.


Is solubility an extensive or intensive property?

IntensiveIntensive properties do not change based on the amount of matter present. This holds true for solubility: 1 gram of a substance is just as in/soluble as 100 grams of the substance.

What is the ability so something to dissolve in water called?

The ability is hydrogen bonds, which form on the fly more easily than covalent or ionic bonds. Other chemicals that readily create hydrogen bonds are gases at room temperature, ammonia and hydrogen fluoride, or are unstable, hydrazine. Water is the only inorganic (not carbon based) liquid solvent that occurs naturally in large quantity. Hydrogen bonding also holds the double strands of DNA together.
