the rule of thumb is "Like dissolves like". What this means is that polar substances dissolve polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances. For instance, common tablesalt (NaCl) has an ionic bond that will dissociate in polar liquid like water (H2O), but not in a nonpolar liquid like oil.
