Propane is a nonpolar molecule, meaning it cannot dissolve ionic or polar substances. However, it can dissolve nonpolar substances such as oils, fats, and waxes. This is due to the similar nonpolar nature of propane and these substances, allowing them to mix at a molecular level. Additionally, some nonpolar gases like methane and ethane can also dissolve in propane due to their similar nonpolar characteristics.
