LIKE dissolves LIKE

Dissolving is when a solute breaks down in a solvent.
A polar solvent dissolves a polar substance such as oil
and a nonpolar solvent dissolves a nonpolar substance
such as water. A polar solvent cannot dissolve a nonpolar
substance and a nonpolar solvent cannot dissolve a polar
substance.
