Answer:

Water is polar covalent while isoporopanol is covalent

Explanation:

Water contains polar covalent bonds. Water has a high dipole moment and thus dissolves ionic substances easily such as sodium chloride. Water is also a good electrolyte. Water is not volatile. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. Isopropanol is a covalent compound. It is non polar and suitable for dissolving non polar substances such as campohor. It is volatile but dissolves in water due the the -OH group present in the molecule.
