Expert Answer:
Since organic solvents are non-polar hence these compounds dissolve in non-polar covalent compounds.
So covalent compounds are insoluble in water but dissolve in organic solvents.

- Is fullerne a good conductor of electricity? Some people said that, "its structure resembles to that of the graphite thus it is good conductor of electricity." But, Some said that, "Fullerne do not have layered structure like graphit and that is why free electrons do not jump and move easily . Thus, Fullerene is a bad conductor of electricity/ insulator. " So I am confused which is correct. Please solve my doubt.
