The polarity of the water molecule causes an ionic compound to dissolve in water. The slightly negative oxygen atoms of the water molecules attract the positive ions, and the slightly positive hydrogen atoms of the water molecules attract the negative ions. This breaks the ionic bonds and the ions are surrounded by water molecules, preventing them from reforming ionic bonds.

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.
No. They are almost always hydrophilic and easily dissolve in water.
Non-polar compounds are least likely to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent and non-polar compounds do not interact well with polar substances. Ionic compounds and charged compounds are more likely to dissolve in water due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules.
When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they form ions. The positive and negative ions in the compound separate in the water due to the polar nature of water molecules. This process is known as dissociation.
When you dissolve an ionic compound in water or melt it, it can break down into its individual ions, creating a solution or molten mixture. These ions can then move freely in the solution or melt, allowing for electrical conductivity and other chemical interactions.
It is an Ionic compound just as water is.

Dissolve them in water. If the solution conducts electricity, then the solute is an ionic compound. If not, then it is a molecular compound.

No. Water is a largely covalent compound that spontaneously ionizes only to give concentrations of 10-7 molar for each of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. However water also has a high dielectric constant and for that reason can dissolve many ionic compounds. Water can also dissolve sufficiently polar organic compounds, such as sugar, with little or no trace of ionic character.
Non-polar compounds are least likely to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent and non-polar compounds do not interact well with polar substances. Ionic compounds and charged compounds are more likely to dissolve in water due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules.
Sodium chloride is an ionic, polar compound.
Because salt is an ionic compound is easily dissolved in water.
Sodium chloride dissolve in water because it is an ionic compound.
Dissolve, solution An ionic compound, when dissolved in water, conducts electricity.
