Ionic compounds generally are more soluble in polar solvents than in non-polar.

Strictly polar compound is a term applied

to compounds with a polar covalent bond

Is Caf2 polar non polar or ionic?

CaF2 is considered an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal cation (Ca) and a nonmetal anion (F) bonded together through ionic bonds. It is not considered as polar or nonpolar since ionic compounds do not have distinct polar or nonpolar characteristics as covalent compounds do.


What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?

Nonpolar solvents, such as hexane and benzene, do not dissolve ionic compounds because they lack the ability to dissociate the ions due to their nonpolar nature. Ionic compounds require polar solvents, such as water or alcohols, to dissolve and dissociate into their constituent ions.


Do ionic compounds dissolve in nonpolar compounds?

Ionic compounds do not dissolve in non-polar compounds. They can dissolve only in polar compounds. Dissolution is actually dissociation of the ionic compounds and the polar solvent into constituent ions and development of weak forces of attraction called hydrogen bonds. The dissociation is not necessarily complete always.


Are all compounds with polar covalent bonds are polar molecules?

No, not all compounds with polar covalent bonds are polar molecules. Whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar depends on its overall symmetry and the arrangement of its polar bonds within the molecule. In some cases, the polarities of individual bonds may cancel out, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.


Why don't polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?

Polar compounds have poles that have a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge that attract other polar molecules. Nonpolar compounds do not have partially charged poles, so the polar substance is not attracted to them and they don't dissolve.

no, in the case of polar and nonpolar the two do not mix it's like putting olive oil in milk

Is an ionic compound considered to be a polar or non polar compound?

ionic compounds are polar compounds because they have charge separation between them
