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.
For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.
Nonpolar
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.

For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.
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.
Polar substances dissolve in polar liquids. Nonpolar substances dissovle in nonpolar liqiuds. (For more info on polar and nonpolar, refer to Chemistry)
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.
mixture of polar and nonpolar liquids.
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.
The liquids do not mix. They are said to be immiscible.
Nonpolar
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.
