Ionic compounds are the most common compounds that dissolve in water because they have positive and negative dipoles. The positive and negative dipoles of water attract the negative and positive dipoles of the ionic compound, pulling it apart between the dipoles. However, certain non-ionic substances also dissolve easily in water. For example, sugar and Alcoholic Beverages made with alcohols such as ethanol are also soluble in water. Ethanol is especially soluble in water because the molecule contains a polar O—H bond like those in water. Because it is similar to the form of an H20 molecule, it bonds to the H20 as if it were one. Similarly, the sugar molecule has many polar O—H molecules that can also bond with water molecules.

∙ 13y agoOne type ionizes, and table salt is an example. NaCl atoms divide into ions, the positive ion being Na+, and the negative being Cl-.
The other type is a molecule that does not ionize, and sugar is an example. The molecules stay intact in the water.

∙ 13y agoThere's only 1 type, and that's polar. You could argue that ionic is another kind, but the definition of polar as I remember it is a compound having a distinct positive charge towards one end due to unequal electronegativity of the elements. So I'd say that an ionic compound is the same as a polar compound.

What type of friction occurs when 2 solids rub against each other?
Sliding friction occurs when two solids rub against each other.
Does honey dissolve?
Honey is soluble in Water. Think of it this way: No matter how hot you make water, oil will not dissolve in it. But, if you make water hot and put in honey (think tea with honey) the honey will dissolve. Something is "water soluble" if it dissolves in water.
What impurities do you find in river water?
1. Suspended solids 2. Colloidal solids (nonsettleable solids) - Do not dissolve in water
What do you call solids that do not dissolve in water?

How does water dissolve sodium?
Water doesn't dissolve sodium, water react violently with sodium:2 Na + 2 H2O = 2 NaOH + H2
What happen when you mix of solids or liquid in a given volume of water?
Place a solid (that won't dissolve) in water and the solid will displace its weight, causing the water level to rise proportionally. Add a pint of liquid to a pint of water and you should have 2 pints of liquid in solution.
What solid substances can not be dissolved in a liquid?
There are very few solids which, given enough time, do not dissolve in water, including rocks. For this reason, water is often called "the universal solvent," although there are some things which will not dissolve in water. But there are many factors that affect solubility (the ability of a substance to dissolve) in water. For example, common table salt (a rock) dissolves easily in water -- until the water is saturated, at a given temperature and pressure. Afterwards, no more salt will dissolve. Plastic, if considered to be a solid, may be insoluble. Fats and oils will not dissolve in water.
What soda dissolves a mint faster?
2 days
Platonic solids is made from triangles?
No. Platonic solids, as their name suggests, are 3-dimensional objects. A triangle is 2-dimensional.
What is the maximum amount of potassium chloride that can dissolve in 200 grams of water?
68 g of KCl ( => 2 x 34 )can dissolve in 200 g of water
How do you dissolve Elmers glue?
simply adding water does the trickANS 2 - WARM water is best.
How much sodium chloride can be dissolved in 20 degree Celsius water into 2 L of water?
The amount of sodium chloride that would dissolve in 2 L of water at 20 degrees Celsius depends on if the water is moving. It would dissolve faster in moving water than still sitting water.
What 2 materials dissolve in hot water minerals?
Calcium chloride and sodium carbonate are soluble in water.

1/2 ounce of water, I believe.
