A polar liquid is a liquid that does not have any/much of a hydrocarbon chain and has mainly OH, NH or even C=O or C=-N groups. As you increase the carbon chain, you become less polar. Polar solvents include water, dimethylformamide, ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile to name a few. Non polar solvents include pentane, hexane, toluene, heptane to name a few.
