Substances dissolve if their polarity and the polarity of the solvent, allow for a solvation (surrounded by solvent molecules), or dissociation (dissociate into smaller parts, ions, or radicals) of the solute to occur. This will only happen if it is a lower energy state for the particles to be dissociated or solvated.
