A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.

Polar solvents have molecules with a net dipole moment, making them able to dissolve ionic and polar compounds. Nonpolar solvents have molecules with no overall dipole moment, making them better for dissolving nonpolar compounds. Polar solvents include water and alcohols, while nonpolar solvents include hexane and diethyl ether.
A polar solvent is more stable than a non polar solvent. An example of a polar solvent is water. A non polar solvent has more charged molecules. A non polar solvent cannot dissolve in a polar solvent.
Water is the most common polar solvent (though nor the most polar), tetrachloormethane is an example of a non-polar solvent
Yes, sometimes but not always. As an example ethanol is completely soluble in benzene. However, water is far from completely soluble in benzene or toluene.
It is nonpolar
Caesium is a chemical element not a solvent.
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
No, metallic bonding is not soluble in non-polar solvents. Metallic bonding involves the attraction between positively charged metal ions and delocalized electrons, while non-polar solvents lack the ability to interact with these charged species. Solubility of metallic bonding typically occurs in polar solvents where there is a strong attraction between the charged species and the polar solvent molecules.
hydrocarbons are not soluble in a polar solvent but are soluble in a non-polar solvent.
