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 have to be defined as best as possible to determine what is soluble in water. Organic compounds are molecules composed with carbons--pure hydrocarbons like octane would not be soluble in water. Organic compounds can also have electronegative molecules in it. Dichloroethane, methanol, ethanol, etc are soluble in water. However, most organic compounds will more likely have low solubility in water, since increasing the number of carbon molecules in any compound drastically reduces water solubility.
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.
No, water can dissolve both inorganic and organic compounds. Water is considered a universal solvent because it has the ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances due to its polar nature and ability to form hydrogen bonds.
Sugars and starches are organic compounds. But not all organic compounds are sugars and starches .
In general, inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar or inorganic solvents such as water, whereas organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents. However there are many exceptions to these.
Various methods can be used to predict the solubility of organic compounds, including quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), molecular modeling, and experimental data analysis. These methods involve analyzing the chemical structure of the compound and its interactions with solvents to estimate its solubility.

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).

Solubility of VOCs refers to the ability of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to dissolve in water or other liquids. This property is important for understanding how VOCs may behave in the environment, as it affects their transport, fate, and potential for exposure to organisms.
Oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. It is a nonpolar substance due to its long hydrocarbon chains, giving it low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents.
Ionic compounds are insoluble in organic solvents because organic solvents do not provide the necessary interactions for ionic bonding to be broken and replaced by interactions with the solvent molecules. Organic solvents lack the ability to stabilize the charged ions in the ionic compound, leading to poor solubility.

As covalent compounds, organic compounds tend to have relatively low melting and boiling points, be non-conductive of electricity, and have lower solubility in water. They also commonly exhibit isomerism, meaning they can have the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements, leading to a wide range of diverse compounds.
