Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Water is a polar molecule made of one oxygen atom connected to two hydrogen atoms through polar covalent bonds. Water is polar, meaning the atoms in the covalent bonds share electrons unequally.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydration changes. Polar molecules attract water molecules, mainly through hydrogen bonding. They compete successfully with hydrogen bonds between the water molecules, so they are readily soluble in water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polar compounds tend to mix well with other polar compounds. The IMFs involved can be hydrogen boding, dipole/dipole, and London forces. Nonpolar compounds tend to mix well with other nonpolar compounds, with London forces being the only IMF involved.
