Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A substance in which bond forming between the combining atoms is due to the sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.
For example, bond present in a [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] molecule is a covalent bond.
Some covalent bonds are non-polar in nature whereas water is a polar solvent. As it is known that like dissolves like.
Therefore, covalent molecules will not be soluble in water as water is a polar molecule.
Thus, we can conclude that if a substance is covalent, then it likely will not be soluble in water.
