Best Answer

Molecules that do not dissolve in other molecules that are similar. If the molecules are not similar, they will not mix. Therefore, you have an immiscible liquid.

Polar solvents will only dissolve polar compounds. (e.g. NaCl in H2O soln)

Nonpolar solvents will only dissolve nonpolar compunds. (e.g Vitamin A in an oil)

However, certain solvents are miscible with both polar and nonpolar solvents. An example of this would be ethanol (CH3CH2OH), which is miscible with water(polar) and hexane(nonpolar).
