In general, inorganic compounds are not very soluble in organic solvents. This is because organic solvents are primarily non-polar, while most inorganic compounds are ionic or polar in nature. However, there are exceptions where certain inorganic compounds may exhibit some solubility in specific organic solvents.
Organic compounds are typically more soluble in organic solvents due to similar intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding and London dispersion forces. Inorganic compounds, on the other hand, tend to be more soluble in water or other polar solvents due to ionic interactions between the ions in the compound and the polar solvent molecules.
Fats are soluble in nonpolar compounds such as other fats, oils, and organic solvents like benzene and ether. They are not soluble in water or other polar solvents.
Some are and some are not. Some water soluble inorganic compounds include ammonia (NH3), sodium chloride (NaCl), and copper sulfate (CuSO4). Some water insoluble inorganic compounds include silicon dioxide (SiO2), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and lead iodide (PbI2)
Organic compounds generally have low melting and boiling points compared to inorganic compounds due to their covalent bonding and often nonpolar characteristics. Additionally, many organic compounds are soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water, reflecting their hydrophobic nature. These properties are influenced by their molecular structure and the presence of functional groups.
The family of organic compounds that are soluble in organic solvents but not in water includes nonpolar compounds such as hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes), lipids (fats and oils), and many aromatic compounds. These substances generally have low polarity and do not engage in hydrogen bonding with water, making them hydrophobic. Other examples include certain esters, ethers, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Their solubility in organic solvents is due to similar nonpolar interactions.
Like dissolves like. So organic compounds are generally soluble in organic solvents whereas inorganic compounds are more soluble in inorganic solvents (though there are plenty of exceptions to this).
In general, "Like dissolves like". So organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents
Organic compounds are typically more soluble in organic solvents due to similar intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding and London dispersion forces. Inorganic compounds, on the other hand, tend to be more soluble in water or other polar solvents due to ionic interactions between the ions in the compound and the polar solvent molecules.
The family of organic compounds that are soluble in organic solvents but not in water are called hydrocarbons. These compounds are composed of only hydrogen and carbon atoms and include substances like alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
Fats are soluble in nonpolar compounds such as other fats, oils, and organic solvents like benzene and ether. They are not soluble in water or other polar solvents.
Soluble organic and inorganic salts
Sulfur is soluble in many organic solvents, such as carbon disulfide, benzene, and toluene. It is also soluble in some inorganic solvents, such as sulfuric acid.
Thorium oxalate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate due to their ability to dissolve polar compounds like oxalates. However, it is insoluble in non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene.
Some are and some are not. Some water soluble inorganic compounds include ammonia (NH3), sodium chloride (NaCl), and copper sulfate (CuSO4). Some water insoluble inorganic compounds include silicon dioxide (SiO2), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and lead iodide (PbI2)
Sodium chloride and water are polar compounds. Iodine is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents.

Additionally, many organic compounds are soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water, reflecting their hydrophobic nature. These properties are influenced by their molecular structure and the presence of functional groups.
PbCl2 is not soluble in organic solvents because it is a polar compound and organic solvents are nonpolar. Organic solvents are generally unable to dissolve ionic compounds like PbCl2 due to the difference in polarity between the solute and solvent.
