Compounds that have an affinity for water are known as hygroscopic.
If the affinity is strong enough to attract water until the compound goes into solution, they are called deliquescent.
No, they do not hold two compounds together. The forces that hold compounds together are intermolecular forces. Ionic and covalent bonds are intramolecular forces, and they hold the atoms of the molecule or formula unit together.
Ionic compounds are generally more soluble in water than covalent compounds because ionic compounds dissociate into their constituent ions when they come into contact with water, forming ion-dipole interactions with water molecules. Covalent compounds do not readily dissociate in water, making them less soluble.
Yes, both polar and ionic compounds tend to dissolve well in water due to water's polarity. Water molecules are able to surround and interact with the charged particles in these compounds, allowing them to mix uniformly in solution.
You can NOT dissolve 'covalent BONDS' because a bond is one couple of two electrons which hold their two 'parent' atoms together in one molecule.Try asking the question again with what you want to know, not what you have only 'heard of'.
In water and many other compounds hydrogen and oxygen are held by covalent bonds.Between water molecules and between other polar molecules hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of a different molecule are held by hydrogen bonds.
No. There are a number of compounds that are soluble in water, but there are a large number of compounds and substances that are not.
hygroscopic compounds, polyacrylamide, sodium acrylate, etc.

No, they do not hold two compounds together. The forces that hold compounds together are intermolecular forces. Ionic and covalent bonds are intramolecular forces, and they hold the atoms of the molecule or formula unit together.
yea water can dissolve polar compounds
Water, salt and ammonia are inorganic compounds.
The water is called solvent, the compounds to be dissolved are solutes
Ionic compounds are generally more soluble in water than covalent compounds because ionic compounds dissociate into their constituent ions when they come into contact with water, forming ion-dipole interactions with water molecules. Covalent compounds do not readily dissociate in water, making them less soluble.
insulators
Water and vinegar are both compounds, oxygen is an element.
The method is the evaporation of water followed by condensation of water.
