Why are ionic compounds often soluble in water but not soluble in cyclohexane?
ya man its so easy water has hydrogen bonding so it means that its oxygen has partially negative and hydrogen has partially positive charge so when a ionic compounds comes in water its positive part is sorrounded by negative oxygen and negative part by positively charged hydrogen so it becomes soluble but in organic compounds (as in cyclohexane) there is no hydrogen bonding no sorrounding of different charges and ultimately no solubilaty
