The water dissolve the ionic compound by the way the water reacts to the ionic. Compounds that dissolve best in water contain ionic bonds. An Ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions.

Water is a polar molecules, with a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen.

The partially charge ends are attracted to oppositely charge ions ion an ionic compound. They form what is called a "hydration shell: around the ions and pull them out of the crystal structure.

They break into ion and then react with OH and H ion of water like

NaCl breaks in Na+ and Cl- which react with OH- and H+ respectively to form NaOH and HCl

It'll dissolve some. This allows the ions to split which can be useful for electrolysis.

How can water dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds?

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.


Do polar and ionic compounds dissolve in water?

Ionic compounds, for one, can dissolve in water. They split up into oppositely charged ions when dissolved in water.


How do ionic compounds react in water?

They dissolve


Can water dissolve ionic compounds?

yes


Why do all ionic compounds dissolve in water?

Many ionic compounds do NOT dissolve in water- such as calcium carbonate. The majority do and that is because the solvation of the ions is energetically favourable in those compounds.


Does covalent or ionic substances dissolve in water faster?

Ionic compounds


Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in kerosene oil?

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.

Are ionic compounds more likely to dissolve in water than covalent 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.


How do you dissolve ionic compounds?

By placing them in Water. This is called an aqueous solution.


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

Ionic compounds dissociate when they dissolve in water.


What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?

Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.
