What makes a solvent?

A solvent is polar if its molecules contain highly polar covalent bonds, for example water, or ionic bonds, for example molten salt.


What is example of polar aprotic solvent and nonpolar aprotic solvent?

An example of a polar aprotic solvent is THF, or tetrahydrofuran. It has the carbon-oxygen bond making it polar, but it has no protons that can freely dissociate form the compound. An example of a non-polar aprotic solvent is hexanes. hexanes have only carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds, making it non-polar. They also do not have any protons that can freely dissociate from the compound


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.


Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non- polar solvent?

What makes a solvent polar?

A solvent is considered polar when it has a separation of electric charge, resulting in a positive and negative end. This polarity allows polar solvents to dissolve other polar solutes, as they can interact through electrostatic forces. Common examples of polar solvents include water and alcohols.
