Answer 12

yes

Question 13

which compound dissolves in water and why?

Answer 13

ionic; water molecules hydrate the ions, the molecules are separated and then form bonds with water molecules. they contain a positive cation and a negative anion, allowing it to separate and bond with water molecules. molecular compounds cannot do this because they do not have positive cations
