Are ionic compounds or covalent compounds more soluble in water Why?

Ionic compounds are generally more soluble in water than covalent compounds because ionic compounds dissociate into their constituent ions when they come into contact with water, forming ion-dipole interactions with water molecules. Covalent compounds do not readily dissociate in water, making them less soluble.
