Only polar molecules are hydrophilic will ionize in water whereas non polar molecules are hydrophobic and are repelled by water

Let me simplify... "Like dissolves like" is the rule of thumb. Polar water molecules (water is always polar) will dissolve other polar molecules. In this case, the polar water dissolves the "polar" bear.
