Basically, It is because water is polar. The positive Hydrogen atoms and the Negative Oxygen atoms pull apart the ionic compounds. This is because ionic compounds are made of a anion and cation, which are both charged. Then, just like a magnet, they are pulled apart, and not allowed back together.

Well the reason why ionic substances are more likely to be water soluble is that the ionic have the cas + and _ which will react with the Ion hidrogen ( cas -1) and the oxigen (cas -2) these cas will easily bind with the ionic compound and form ionic bond with them and basically, It is because water is polar.

Ions form bonds more easily, electronicaly in addition to chemically

Because the density allows for the molecules to react in that way.
