Hexane is a nonpolar solvent, meaning it cannot dissolve polar molecules such as water. Decane and butane are both nonpolar hydrocarbons and can dissolve in hexane. Methane is also nonpolar and can dissolve in hexane, although it is typically found in the gas phase at room temperature and pressure.
