The least polar organic solvent must not have any dipole interactions. It can either have all hydrocarbons or have perfect symmetrical molecular structure that cancels out opposing electronegative forces. Hexane would be the least polar organic solvent available.

What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.
Is sodium chloride soluble in an organic solvent?
Sodium chloride is ionic and only dissolves in polar solvents- water is excellent. In non-polar organic solvents such as hydrocarbons it is insoluble but in polar organic solvents it has limited solubility, e.g. in methanol and tetrahydrofuran.
Which component move furthest and why in an paper chromotography?
If the solvent used is nonpolar, then the component that moves furthest would be the least polar component. If the solvent is polar, then the most polar component moves furthest.
Is hexane or chloroform more polar?
chloroform is more polar than hexane. Based from the solvent polarity chart, alkyl halides (such as CHCl3) are relatively more polar than alkanes (such as hexane). Moreso, alkanes tend to be the least polar among the organic and inorganic compounds due to their hydrocarbon structure.
What are types of solvents for plant extraction?
Plants material contains Organic compounds along with salts and water, some organic compounds are polar and soluble in ethyl alcohol or ethyl acetate but some are non polar and soluble in ether or hexane, so two types of solvents may be used for plants extraction, the best way is to use non polar solvent first and extract the non polar compounds then use the polar solvent and extract the polar compounds.
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.
Why oils and fats miscible in organic solvent?
Miscible means, a liquid is able to dissolve in a liquid. Generally, "like dissolives like". Oil is a non polar molecule since there is little difference in the electronegativity of an oil molecule. Therefore, the organic solvent must also be non polar. The only way that an oils or fats can dissolve in organic solvents is if the organic solvent is non polar and the oil or fat is non polar.
What is the organic solvent can use to dissolve urea please urgent?
Urea is a polar molecule that readily / easily dissolves in the polar solvent - water. The term 'organic solvent' is used to describe the more powerful non-polar solvents, such as benzene, or carbon tetrachloride (dry cleaning fluid), that are used to dissolve non-polar compounds.
Why does sodium chloride does not dissolved in an organic solvent?
Sodium chloride is a polar compound; organic solvents are nonpolar.
What can you conclude from the level of lipid solubility in organic solvents?
Another term for organic solvent is non polar solvent, because it dissolves non polar molecules. A lipid is also a fatty acid as it contains both a charged polar 'head' and a non polar 'tail'. This polar head will tend to interfere with the tail's dissolving in organic solvents, so the longer the non polar tail [to overcome this] of a lipid the greater its solubility.
What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.
Is sodium chloride soluble in an organic solvent?
Sodium chloride is ionic and only dissolves in polar solvents- water is excellent. In non-polar organic solvents such as hydrocarbons it is insoluble but in polar organic solvents it has limited solubility, e.g. in methanol and tetrahydrofuran.
Why nailpolish dissolved when acetone is added?
Nailpolish is an organic material soluble in a non polar solvent.
Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non- polar solvent?
Cyclohexane is a non polar solvent.
Which component move furthest and why in an paper chromotography?
If the solvent used is nonpolar, then the component that moves furthest would be the least polar component. If the solvent is polar, then the most polar component moves furthest.
What would happen to the isolation process if you use a more polar solvent such as methatnol inteasd of dietyl ether?
Most of the organic compounds are not sufficiently polar and are insoluble in polar solvent like methanol so only polar fractions may be separated by using methanol.
Is hexane or chloroform more polar?
chloroform is more polar than hexane. Based from the solvent polarity chart, alkyl halides (such as CHCl3) are relatively more polar than alkanes (such as hexane). Moreso, alkanes tend to be the least polar among the organic and inorganic compounds due to their hydrocarbon structure.
