Which of the following statements best explains why ionic compounds are generally more soluble in water than in nonpolar solvents?
The weak van der Waals interactions between the ions and nonpolar solvent molecules make it difficult for the ionic compound to dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
The strong ion-dipole interactions between the ions and water molecules make it easier for the ionic compound to dissolve in water.
The strong covalent bonding between the ions and water molecules make it easier for the ionic compound to dissolve in water.
The strong hydrogen bonding between the ions and water molecules make it easier for the ionic compound to dissolve in water.
