* Salt (Sodium Chloride): Table salt is a common example of a soluble ionic compound. When salt dissolves in water, the water molecules pull apart the sodium and chloride ions, causing them to disperse throughout the solution.

* Sugar (Sucrose): Sugar is a covalent compound that readily dissolves in water. The polar water molecules form hydrogen bonds with the sugar molecules, breaking the sugar molecules apart and allowing them to dissolve.
