A polar liquid is a liquid that does not have any/much of a hydrocarbon chain and has mainly OH, NH or even C=O or C=-N groups. As you increase the carbon chain, you become less polar. Polar solvents include water, dimethylformamide, ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile to name a few. Non polar solvents include pentane, hexane, toluene, heptane to name a few.

What do you mean like dissolve like?
For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.
What is the term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules?
The term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules is a nonpolar solvent. These types of liquids do not have a permanent electric dipole moment and typically do not dissolve polar substances well.
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
Is SiF6 2- polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
What are the dissolving properties of the 3 liquids?
To assess the dissolving properties of three liquids, we typically consider their polarity, solubility, and interactions with solutes. Polar liquids, like water, effectively dissolve ionic and polar substances due to strong dipole interactions. Nonpolar liquids, such as hexane, dissolve nonpolar substances but struggle with ionic or polar compounds. Lastly, polar protic solvents (e.g., ethanol) can dissolve a range of substances due to both hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions, making them versatile solvents in various applications.
What do you mean like dissolve like?
For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.
How is miscibility of 2 liquids related to their polarity?
The miscibility of two liquids is typically related to their polarity. Generally, polar liquids are more likely to be miscible with other polar liquids, while nonpolar liquids are more likely to be miscible with other nonpolar liquids. This is due to similar intermolecular forces between molecules that allow them to mix easily.
What does like disslove like mean?
Polar substances dissolve in polar liquids. Nonpolar substances dissovle in nonpolar liqiuds. (For more info on polar and nonpolar, refer to Chemistry)
Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?
Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.
What would form a heterogenous mixture?
mixture of polar and nonpolar liquids.
Do polar or non polar liquids have a greater capillary action?
Polar liquids have a greater capillary action than nonpolar liquids because polar liquids have molecules that exhibit stronger intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding, which allow them to "climb" up a surface more easily. Nonpolar liquids have weaker intermolecular forces, reducing their capillary action.
Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. What happens when the two liquids are poured into the same container?
The liquids do not mix. They are said to be immiscible.
What is the term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules?
The term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules is a nonpolar solvent. These types of liquids do not have a permanent electric dipole moment and typically do not dissolve polar substances well.

What factor determines if two liquids will be miscible or immiscible?
Molecules that do not dissolve in other molecules that are similar. If the molecules are not similar, they will not mix. Therefore, you have an immiscible liquid. Polar solvents will only dissolve polar compounds. (e.g. NaCl in H2O soln) Nonpolar solvents will only dissolve nonpolar compunds. (e.g Vitamin A in an oil) However, certain solvents are miscible with both polar and nonpolar solvents. An example of this would be ethanol (CH3CH2OH), which is miscible with water(polar) and hexane(nonpolar).
