Yes, diesel is considered to be a nonpolar solvent due to its composition primarily of hydrocarbons. This means that diesel does not mix well with polar substances like water, but can dissolve other nonpolar compounds.

How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

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.

What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?

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.
