Explanation:

Ionic compounds generally dissolve well in polar solvents like water due to ion - dipole interactions. Covalent compounds can be soluble or insoluble depending on their polarity. If the unknown dissolves readily in water and conducts electricity when dissolved (indicating the presence of ions), it is likely ionic. If it has low solubility in water and does not conduct electricity in solution, it is more likely covalent.

Answer:

If the unknown is highly soluble in water and conducts electricity in solution, it is ionic. If it has low water - solubility and does not conduct electricity in solution, it is covalent.
