Question

which type(s) of molecule(s) are non - polar solvents more likely to be able to dissolve?
polar molecules
non - polar molecules
polar and ionic molecules
ionic, polar and non - polar molecules

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The key principle here is "like dissolves like": solvents dissolve substances with similar polarity. Non-polar solvents interact best with non-polar molecules, as they have matching intermolecular force properties. Polar and ionic molecules rely on polar interactions that non-polar solvents cannot provide effectively.

Answer:

non-polar molecules
