Chemists say that 'like dissolves like,'meaningthat substances withsimilarchemical characteristics willdissolvein each other. Specifically, polar solvents tend todissolvepolar solutes, and non-polar solvents tend todissolvenon-polar solutes, while non-polar and polar substances are Immiscible (donot mix).
