polarity

Solvents can have electronegative atoms {polarity}|.

types

Polar solvents include water, ethyl alcohol, and methyl alcohol. Acetone is slightly polar. Benzene is non-polar.

solution

Like dissolves like. Polar solvents can dissolve in each other. Non-polar solvents can dissolve in each other. Sticky non-polar solids are harder to dissolve in non-polar solvents, because they do not break up. Acetone, methyl alcohol, ethyl ether, and ethyl alcohol are soluble in water. Benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, hexane, cyclohexane, methylene chloride, toluene, and xylene are insoluble in water.
