Ameena Eesa for the rusting question you asked , the water level rise because the oxygen which is the second major reason and vital substance taking part in the rusting process is used up in the space where it was present at the begining of the reaction , so water took its place , shown by the increase in its level .

Yes there is a rule for both ionic and covalent compounds when they are lowered in water , ionic do dissolve because in the process of dissolving there must be a compound which is strong enough to break the bonds present in water , and in ionic because of the positive and negative charges in the compound and the also the opposite charges in water ( H AND OH) that they do attract and accomplish the dissolving process.

Because covalent bonds lack of this properties and also because they are of weak attraction forces that they donnot have the power to break the bonds of water thus fails to dissolve in water .
but again covalent compounds doesnt dissolve in a covalent coumpound

Check more about polarity and nonpolarity in water .

hope to have answered your questions :)

we say that ionic compunds when lowered in water they disassociate themselves into ions rather then saying the term dissolving because some ionic compunnd do not dissolve in water....n colvent coumpunds don not disassociate them slves into ions :)
