Solubility

[Isabella Barkett 1G]

Are covalent bonds usually soluble or insoluble in water?

[Marisol Sanchez - 1E]

Covalent bonds are usually insoluble to my knowledge. Ionic bonds are the ones that do dissolve readily in water or other fluids.

[NabilaNizam-1K]

Compounds with covalent bond do not dissolve but dissolve in other organic solvents. Ionic compounds dissolve in water as the ions dissociate in the presence of H+ and OH- ions in water

[Chem_Mod]

One note on this subject that you do not really dissolve bonds because a molecule can be dissolved without its bonds breaking. We usually say that a molecule or ion has become "solvated" if it is dissolved in a particular solvent. When we discuss polarity, it will become more clear as to why certain molecules dissolve in various solvents.
