Which compound is least likely to dissolve in water ionic compound charged compound polar compound or non polar compound?

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.
