That depends entirely on what the "particles" are made of.

In atomic science particle is the general term given to quantum objects. In the context of solution chemistry particles are ions, atoms or molecules. The general rule is that like dissolves like. This means non polar solvents dissolve non-polar particles. Example: petroleum dissolves oil. Polar solvents dissolve ionic or polar particles. Example: Water dissolves sodium chloride and sugar. One is ionic the other is polar.
