Baby oil is a covalent compound; it is organic, based on carbon chemistry, which produces covalent bonds; we also see that it is a liquid and not a solid, which would not be expected if it were an ionic compound. Ionic compounds, except when they dissolve in water, are solid (at normal temperatures).

Is wax ionic or covalent?
Parafin is another term for hydrocarbons, which contain only carbon-carbon, and carbon-hydrogen single bonds. These atoms are similar in electronegativity, and thus paraffins are covalent compounds.
Is oil an ionic or covalent bond?
Oils are complex mixtures of many organic compounds (nonionic compounds). All chemical compounds contain molecules.
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.
Is oil and electrolyte?
Yes, it is possible, if an ionic compound is dissolved in the liquid.
Is mineral oil a ionic or covalent bond?
Oil is made up of hydrocarbons, so it consists of chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to each other.
How can you make salt dissolvable in oil?
Salt will dissolve in oil very slightly but not truly. salt is an ionic compound (it has a positive/negative side) and oil is usually covalent (there is no charge). The rule for solubility of compounds is that like dissolves like, so ionic dissolves ionic and covalent dissolves covalent.
Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in keroscene oil?
Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is also ionic compound and insoluble in kerosene oil because there is covalent bonds

Is vegetable oil an ionic or covalent bond?
Generally speaking, your oils (canola, olive, vegetable, even baby) are covalent or molecular compounds (they mean the same thing.) Most oils are some combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and maybe another element or two. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are all non-metals, and non-metals bond to each other covalently, which means they share electrons. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, involve a transfer of electrons, and result in the bonding of metals with non-metals (not the case with oil.)
Is butter covalent or ionic bond?
Butter is a type of oil made from saturated fat, which are made from hydrocarbon molecules. A hydrocarbon is a compound containing only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. Both of those are covalent bonds.
Does salt dissolve in mineral oil?
Oil, being a non-polar covalent compound is not soluble in water, which is a polar solvent. Salts (not limited to NaCl, but all ionic salts,) being ionic compounds that disassociate in solution to form charged ions, are highly soluble in water.
Why is soap a compound?
The reaction to make soap is not ionic, it is a hydrolysis. The soap itself is the salt of a fatty acid, and is therefore ionic in nature at the carboxylate site.
Is candle wax ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent also what type of bonding does sugar salt and olive oil have?
Candle wax is covalent! Olive oil is non polar covalent. Because it can not disolve in water and water is polar.
Is sunflower oil covalent or ionic?
Sun flower oil is an unsaturated fat, basically a glycerol head and long chains of carbon hydrogen bonds. So, definitely covalent.
Is oil and electrolyte?
Yes, it is possible, if an ionic compound is dissolved in the liquid.
