Molecular compounds are typically composed of nonmetals bonded together through covalent bonds. These compounds tend to be soluble in water due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The polarity of the molecules in the compound allows them to interact with the polar water molecules, leading to dissolution.
