Generally not.
The general rule to go by is like dissolves like.
Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.

What liquids is polar and which is non-polar c2h5oh c3h7oh and H2O?
All of these liquids are polar.
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.
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
What is soluble in oil but insoluble in water?
There are many compounds that are soluble in oil but not water. These compounds include alkanes and other organic molecules that are mostly nonpolar. Even long-chain alcohols are soluble in oil but not water, though one part of the molecule is polar.
Is RbOH soluble in non polar solvent?
It is not soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Why iodine dissolve readily in CCl4?
Iodine is a non polar compound so it is readily soluble in non polar liquids like CCl4.
Why are most simple carbohydrates soluble in water and insoluble in liquids such as hexane?
Because water is polar and hexane is non polar which makes it insoluble
Is NaCl a polar or non polar state your reason?
NaCl is ionic, and polar/non-polar usually refers to covalent bonds. So, while it is polar in a sense (there are + and - parts) it is really ionic. It is, however, soluble in polar liquids, such a water.
What liquids is polar and which is non-polar c2h5oh c3h7oh and H2O?
All of these liquids are polar.
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.
Are kerosene and oil soluble?
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
What is something with non polar molecules?
Lipids are soluble in non polar solvents
Is non polar soluble in non polar?
yes, like dissolves like
What liquids-other than water-interact with materials by dissolving them?
When dealing with liquids, the rule of thumb is that like will dissolve like. This means that polar liquids will dissolve polar solids, and non polar liquids dissolve non polar substances. Fructose is polar, so it dissolves in water, and fats, as a non polar substance, will dissolve in kerosene.
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
