How are sucrose and sodium chloride water soluble because one is a covalent compound and the other is an ionic compound?
Schooler123
So what? Water dissolves many covalent compounds (but not all) and many ionic compounds (but not all). Sucrose happens to be a fairly polar molecule, with lots of hydroxyl groups hanging off of the carbon backbone, so it readily undergoes hydrogen bonding with water.

Are covalent compounds soluble in hexane?
It depends on the compound. nonpolar covalent compounds will generally be soluble whie polar covalent compounds will not be.
Is BaCl4 an ionic compound?
Yes, because an ionic compound is between a metal (Ba) and non-metal (Cl).
Are covalent soluble?
Some covalent compiunds are soluble in polar solvents, many are only soluble in non-polar . Solubility depends on the nature of the compound AND the nature of the solvent!
Is an ionic compound soluble in water?
Yes, many ionic compound are water soluble, such as sodium chloride. Others, such as calcium carbonate are not water soluble- or only very slightly soluble.
Why is mercury chloride soluble but lead chloride is insoluble?
Mercury (II) chloride is soluble, but Mercury (I) (mercurous) chloride is insoluble. The formula of the first compound is HgCl2, and mercurous chloride is Hg2Cl2. Also, lead chloride (PbCl2) and Silver chloride (AgCl) is insoluble. All other chloride solutions are soluble.
Sodium chloride is what type of compound?
Sodium chloride is an inorganic salt, very soluble in water, with ionic bods, forming large lattices, transparent crystals etc.
Why salt is soluble in water?
Because sodium chloride and water are polar compounds.
Are covalent compounds soluble in hexane?
It depends on the compound. nonpolar covalent compounds will generally be soluble whie polar covalent compounds will not be.
Terms that apply to sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is an inorganic compound, an ionic salt, a chloride, a soluble compound etc.
NaCl is an example of?
NaCl is a Sodium Chloride molecule,and is a Polar Bond.
Why is NACL sodium chloride an example of a solution?
Sodium chloride is a solid compound; because is very soluble in water can form a solution.
Is BaCl4 an ionic compound?
Yes, because an ionic compound is between a metal (Ba) and non-metal (Cl).
Are covalent soluble?
Some covalent compiunds are soluble in polar solvents, many are only soluble in non-polar . Solubility depends on the nature of the compound AND the nature of the solvent!
What is the description of the compound in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is an inorganic, ionic, soluble salt.
Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in keroscene oil?
Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is also ionic compound and insoluble in kerosene oil because there is covalent bonds
Is it true sodium chloride is an example of a compound?
Sodium chloride is an inorganic salt, an ionic salt, a water soluble salt.
Is an ionic compound soluble in water?
Yes, many ionic compound are water soluble, such as sodium chloride. Others, such as calcium carbonate are not water soluble- or only very slightly soluble.
