Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.
Will water dissolve in ionic or covalent compounds?
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.
Can silicon dixoide dissolve in water?
No, silicon dioxide, also known as silica, does not dissolve in water because it is a giant covalent structure with strong silicon-oxygen bonds. While it can form colloidal suspensions in water, it does not actually dissolve at a molecular level.
Does covalent or ionic substances dissolve in water faster?
Ionic substances typically dissolve faster in water compared to covalent substances. This is because ionic compounds dissociate into ions in water, which allows for easier interaction with water molecules and faster dissolution, while covalent compounds often require breaking strong covalent bonds between atoms to dissolve.
Does tar dissolve in water?
No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
What types of substances would be least likely to dissolve in water?
Giant covalent substances like diamond tend not to dissolve in anything. Non polar molecular substances such as hydrocarbons are not attracted to water.
Does a hydrophobic substance dissolve in water?
No, a hydrophobic substance does not dissolve in water because it repels water molecules.
How does water dissolve substance?
by the pelformane of the substance

Is a substance does not dissolve in water is it a ionic polar or nonpolor?
Like dissolve likes, therefore since water is polar and it does not dissolve, the substance is nonpolar.
A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent is said to be what in that solvent?
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
When a substance can dissolve in water you say that it is?
.. the substance is soluble
Does maple syrup dissolve in water?
Maple syrup contains certain covalent substances thereby causing it to not dissolve in water,which is a polar substance.
What is the name of something that does not dissolve in water?
A substance that does not dissolve in water is called insoluble.
Does covalent or ionic substances dissolve in water faster?
Ionic substances typically dissolve faster in water compared to covalent substances. This is because ionic compounds dissociate into ions in water, which allows for easier interaction with water molecules and faster dissolution, while covalent compounds often require breaking strong covalent bonds between atoms to dissolve.
What is covalent water?
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).
