To ascertain whether a compound can dissolve in water, one must consider its polarity. Given that water is a polar solvent, it naturally tends to dissolve other substances that are either polar or ionic. Conversely, non-polar substances usually do not dissolve in water. Utilizing solubility principles such as 'like dissolves like' can provide valuable insights into predicting a compound's solubility.
