ionic molecules
Ionic bond. Calcium, a metal, will likely donate its two electrons to chlorine, a nonmetal, to form an ionic bond due to their large difference in electronegativity.
In a non-polar covalent bond, where the two atoms share electrons equally, you would expect the shared electron pair to be equally distant from each atom. This occurs when the two atoms involved have the same or similar electronegativity values, resulting in a balanced sharing of electrons.
halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions. However, mineral oil is non-polar. To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work. More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.
Van der Waals forces are the weakest attractions between molecules.
A solid that ionizes well is more likely to dissolve in a polar solvent, such as water, where the ions can interact with the solvent molecules through electrostatic interactions. This facilitates the separation of ions in the solid and their dispersal in the solution.
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
ANSWER: nonpolar cavalent bonds and polar covalent bonds
Nonpolar solvents are typically unable to dissolve polar or ionic solutes, as their molecular structure lacks the necessary polarity or charge to interact with these solutes. However, nonpolar solvents can dissolve nonpolar solutes, such as hydrocarbons or organic compounds with long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

Substances that cannot be dissolved by water are typically nonpolar molecules, such as oils, fats, and waxes. These substances do not have charged regions that can interact with the polar water molecules, making them insoluble. Additionally, some ionic compounds with very low solubility in water, like silver chloride or lead(II) sulfide, are considered insoluble in water.

Covalent Bonding
A solid that ionizes well is more likely to dissolve in a polar solvent, such as water, where the ions can interact with the solvent molecules through electrostatic interactions. This facilitates the separation of ions in the solid and their dispersal in the solution.
Ionic compounds and polar molecules are generally more soluble in water due to their ability to interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding or ion-dipole interactions. Nonpolar molecules are typically less soluble in water because they do not have the appropriate interactions to be well-dispersed in a polar solvent like water.
