I believe that the property referenced in 'like dissolves like" is polarity. Solvents are substances that dissolves solutes forming a solution. Solvents may be either polar or non polar; polar solvents contain bonds between atoms with very different electronegativities, such as oxygen and hydrogen, while non polar solvents have bonds between atoms with similar electronegativities such as hydrogen and carbon.
