Expert Answer
1.Most of covalent compounds are insoluble in water as they do not dissosciate into ions rather they are made up of molecules.The polar covalent compounds which have small charges are indeed soluble in water.
2. Hydrocarbons are covalent compounds and are volatile, with low boiling and low melting points.Since they have weak forces of attraction between their molecules, they exist in liquid and gaseous forms.
