Dissolving is just when water bonds and separates the cation and anion.
Water's polarity is the reason why it surrounds each ion and separates it from the oppositely charged ion thus dissolving it.
The negative end of the water surround the positive ion and the positively charged end of water surround the negative ion.
If there is a polar molecule it will bond in a network with the polar water molecules
This is why water will not dissolve non-polar molecules because the polarity has no affect on a non-polar molecule.

What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
What type of molecules mix the best with water?
Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.
Are non polar molecules soluble in water?
No.Water can't dissolve non-polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule. Since polar molecules can only dissolve with polar molecules, and non-polar molecules can only dissolve with non-polar molecules, water and non-polar molecules don't react together. Exception:- Some very small non-polar molecules can dissolve in water, like oxygen (O2)
What types of substances dissolve in water?
In general, polar molecules. Oil, a no polar substance, does not dissolve in water.
What molecules can not dissolve in water for example oils?
The molecules which donot have polar centers donot dissolve in water as fat and oil,
Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?
Because water is polar, and polar solvants will dissolve polar solutes. :)
What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
What kinds of molecules do water dissolve?
It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.
Why cant salt dissolve in water?
it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
What types of molecules dissolve easily in water?
Polar molecules and ions dissolve easily in water
What type of molecules mix the best with water?
Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.
What polar molecules are attracted to water?
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
Can polar covalent molecules dissolve in water?
No
Why can water dissolve most polar ionic compounds?
Because water molecules have partially charged atoms.
Are non polar molecules soluble in water?
No.Water can't dissolve non-polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule. Since polar molecules can only dissolve with polar molecules, and non-polar molecules can only dissolve with non-polar molecules, water and non-polar molecules don't react together. Exception:- Some very small non-polar molecules can dissolve in water, like oxygen (O2)
