yes DMF, DMSO..
A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.
It's not an element, but a compound that's called the universal solvent, and that compound is water. The strong polar nature of water means that it dissolves many polar covalent and ionic substances.
CuSO4 is ionic and water is polar. The types of bonding allow water to dissolve the salt much more easily than an organic solvent (e.g. alcohol, hexane) could.
Water is considered 'the' universal solvent because more materials are dissolved by it than by any other solvent but it will not dissolve non-polar substances like oil. Water is very polar; which is why many of its properties are different from nearly all substances, such as water's high melting and boiling points, high surface tension, and why it expands when frozen.
Anhydrous compounds do not contain water molecules. They are typically more soluble in non-polar solvents rather than in water, which is a polar solvent. However, solubility can vary depending on the specific anhydrous compound.

Because water is a polar solvent.
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.
Formamide is the most polar solvent. It has a dipole moment of 3.73 and a dielectric constant of 109. As a comparison, water has a dipole moment of 1.85 and a dielectric constant of 80. The higher the dipole moment value and the dielectric constant, the more polar the solvent. At the opposite, the less polar solvents are hexane, benzene and carbontetrachloride.
growl Water is not conventionally thought of as a solute, because it is much more practical as a solvent. That said, I assume the intended question was which property of water makes it an ideal solvent in some cases but not others? Water is a polar molecule, so acts as an ideal solvent for polar molecules, and an ineffective solvent for non-polar molecules. That is, polar molecules are readily soluble in water, but non-polar molecules (for all practical purposes) are insoluble in water. "Like dissolves like."
A solid that ionizes well is more likely to dissolve in a polar solvent, such as water, where the ions can interact with the solvent molecules through electrostatic interactions. This facilitates the separation of ions in the solid and their dispersal in the solution.
Bromine (Br2) dissolves in cyclohexane due to its nonpolar nature, which is similar to cyclohexane's nonpolar composition. In contrast, bromine does not dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent and bromine is nonpolar, leading to poor solubility due to the mismatch in polarity.

something that is non-soluble in whatever solvent youre using the solvent is what is doing the dissolving, while the solute is the thing being dissolved for example: a mixture of water and salt. water is the solvent and salt is the solute. but to answer your question in more depth, the solubility of something is determined by its polarity compared to the polarity of the solvent water is polar, so polar molecules dissolve readily in water if the substance is known to be nonpolar, then it wont dissolve in water (im just assuming your solvent is water. if you want a more specific example, you should check the polarity of your solvent and solute.)
CuSO4 is ionic and water is polar. The types of bonding allow water to dissolve the salt much more easily than an organic solvent (e.g. alcohol, hexane) could.
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.
Potassium chloride will be more soluble in water because it is an ionic compound and water is a polar solvent, which can effectively dissolve ionic compounds due to opposite charges attracting each other. Isopropanol is a less polar solvent compared to water, so the solubility of potassium chloride in isopropanol will be lower.
