Why are most of the Covalent compounds insoluble in water?

Expert Answer
Theres a saying that, Like dissolves like". This means that compounds tend to dissolve in other compounds that have similar properties (particularly polarity). Since water is a polar solvent and most covalent compounds are fairly non-polar, many covalent compounds don't dissolve in water.
