What is 'like dissolves like'?

The chemistry principal of "like dissolves like," explains that polar substances will dissolve in each other. Similarly, a covalent will dissolve another covalent.


Are substances with ionic or covalent bonds more likely to dissociate in water?

Substances with ionic bonds are more likely to dissociate in water compared to those with covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are weaker when dissolved in water, leading to the dissociation of ions, while covalent bonds tend to remain intact.


What dissolves in water quicker ionic or covalent?

Ionic compounds generally dissolve more quickly in water compared to covalent compounds. This is because ionic compounds dissociate into ions when in water, leading to faster dissolution due to the attraction between the ions and the polar water molecules. Covalent compounds often require breaking intermolecular bonds to dissolve in water, leading to slower dissolution.


Would electrolytic substances be associated with ionic or covalent bonding?

ionic


What types of substances dissolve in water?

Substances that dissolve in water are typically polar molecules or ionic compounds. Polar molecules have a positive and negative end, allowing them to interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding. Ionic compounds dissociate into ions in water due to their charges being attracted to the polar water molecules.


Do giant covalent substance dissolve in water?

No, giant covalent substances like diamond or graphite do not dissolve in water because they have strong covalent bonds that are not easily broken by water molecules. Their rigid structure and intermolecular forces also prevent them from dissolving in water.


Substances that dissolve as ions are known as?

Electrolytes


Are ionic substances soluble in cyclohexane?

No, ionic substances are typically not soluble in cyclohexane because cyclohexane is nonpolar and does not have the ability to dissolve charged particles like ions. Ionic substances generally dissolve in polar solvents like water.


What will dissolve in distilled water?

Substances that are polar or ionic, such as salt, sugar, and acids, will dissolve in distilled water. Nonpolar substances, such as oil, will not dissolve in water.


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).


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.


Why ionic compounds do not dissolve in liquid covelant compounds?

Ionic compounds do not dissolve well in liquid covalent compounds because their strong ionic bonds are not easily broken by the weaker intermolecular forces present in covalent solvents. The polar nature of the covalent solvents also does not provide sufficient interaction with the ions to overcome the ionic bonding in the solid.
