What do you mean by the phrase''like dissolves like''?
Without a specified context, I assume it means polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents.
What is meant by like in the solubility guideline like dissolves like?
There are basically two types of solvents, polar and non-polar. This refers to the electrical charges in a molecule; polar molecules have positive and negative poles, non-polar molecules don't. The most familiar polar solvent is water, familiar non-polar solvents would be such things as gasoline, cooking oil, etc. So, polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents. A polar substance will not dissolve in a non-polar solvent. Soap is a chemical that has both polar and non-polar elements to its molecular composition, and therefore is able to bridge the gap between polar and non-polar.
Different between organic compound from inorganic compound according to solubility?
Yes, many organic compounds are non-polar and they solute only in non-polar solvents. Anorganic compounds are mainly polar and they solute in polar solvents.
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
Which types of chemicals can be dissolved by non polar solutions like cyclohexane?
Solid non-polar substances such as paraffin can be dissolved by non-polar solvents such as cyclohexane.
If a solute does not dissolve in a solvent?
Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents. Polar solutes are miscible in non-polar solvents and vice verse.
What is something with non polar molecules?
Lipids are soluble in non polar solvents
What happen when a non-polar solute is mixed in a non-polar solvent?
the non polar solute gets dissolved as non polar solutes tend to dissolve in non polar solvents than in polar solvents. for eg: benzene(non polar solute) gets dissolved in carbon tetrachloride which is a non polar solvent but not in water because it is a polar solvent.

What types of substances will dissolve in polar solvents?
what type of solute can dissolve on a polar solvent such as water?
Why are two non polar substances able to dissolve each other?
Because it is non-polar itself.Remember the addage : Like Dissolves Like.Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. And non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.
Is caesium non-polar solvents or polar?
Caesium is a chemical element not a solvent.

Yes, many organic compounds are non-polar and they solute only in non-polar solvents. Anorganic compounds are mainly polar and they solute in polar solvents.
What is the difference in a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent?
In polar solvents,the center of positive and negative charges do not coincide with each other and forms a dipole.The most common polar solvent is water. In non polar solvents the partially charges or poles do not exist.
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
What are lipids solububle in?
Lipids are soluble in non-polar solvents
