For nonpolar substances, anything that is symmetrical is nonpolar, so something likeHexane (C6H12) or any other hydrocarbon would work.
The nonpolar solute is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent.
It is nonpolar
Yes, dichloromethane is a nonpolar solvent.
Dichloromethane is a polar solvent.
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
The term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules is a nonpolar solvent. These types of liquids do not have a permanent electric dipole moment and typically do not dissolve polar substances well.
nonpolar solvents
Bromine is nonpolar and needs a nonpolar solvent to do the bromination reaction. CCl4 is a heavy, nonpolar solvent that dissolves the heavy Br2 molecule. With lighter nonpolar solvents such as hexane, the high density Bromine settles out.
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.
DCM, also known as dichloromethane, is a polar solvent.
Acetone is a good solvent for both polar and nonpolar solutes due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with polar solutes and dissolve nonpolar solutes through dispersion forces.
