What is ligroin polar or nonpolar?

Ligroin is a nonpolar solvent that is commonly used in laboratory applications for various purposes, such as extraction and purification of organic compounds. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons that have a boiling point range from about 30 to 100 degrees Celsius, making it a volatile solvent with low viscosity. Its nonpolar nature is due to its lack of polarity in its molecular structure, which makes it an effective solvent for nonpolar compounds such as oils, fats, and some organic chemicals. However, ligroin is not suitable for polar solutes, such as inorganic salts, acids, or alcohols, because it cannot dissolve them.
