Water, alcohols, carbonyls (eg ketones, aldehydes ect), nitriles ect.
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 is nonpolar
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a polar ionic compound that dissolves in water, which is also a polar solvent. Polar substances tend to dissolve well in other polar substances due to similar polarity and intermolecular forces. This dissolution of NaCl in water is an example of "like dissolving in like" based on the similar polar nature of the solute and solvent.
Acetone is only a weak polar solvent.
Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes through the formation of hydrogen bonds or dipole-dipole interactions. The partial charges on the solvent molecules interact with the charges on the solute, allowing the solute to be surrounded and dispersed within the solvent.
A solvent is polar if its molecules contain highly polar covalent bonds, for example water, or ionic bonds, for example molten salt.
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

Cyclohexane is a non polar solvent.
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.
Petroleum ether is an example.
It is nonpolar
a polar solvent dissolves a non polar solute
