By soluble I presume you mean soluble in water and, in that case, the answer is, some are and some are not.

For example, Ferric Oxide Fe2O3, usually known as rust, is not soluble in water, whereas Sodium Chloride NaCl, usually known as table salt, is soluble in water.

Examples of ionic and covalent compounds?

Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal) Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.


Is LiNO 3 soluble in water?

Take this as a rule: All group one salts are soluble All nitrates are soluble in water You can answer that with only one rule but better yet the two rules state that LiNO3 ( lithium nitrate) lithium being in group one and nitrates being soluble make LiNO3 soluble in water.
