\: \sf {Both \: \: \: a. \: \blue{ Polar} \: \: and \: \: \: b. \: \blue{Ionic}}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The molecules of water are polar in nature due to the presence of a positive end as oxygen and a negative end as hydrogen.

  • Due to its polar nature, the molecules of water are attracted towards the ionic molecules. This electrostatic force of attraction called ion-dipole attraction that makes the ionic compounds readily soluble in water.

Therefore, the polar and ionic solutes are readily dissolvable in water .
