What is apolar solvent?
An apolar solvent is a solvent that lacks a significant separation of charge within its structure, resulting in a lack of significant electrostatic interactions with solute molecules or ions. Apolar solvents are typically nonpolar compounds like hydrocarbons, which are unable to form hydrogen bonds or dipole-dipole interactions with solutes that have polar groups. Examples include hexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride.
