Select the statements that correctly describe the characteristics of a polar aprotic solvent. Multiple select question. A polar aprotic solvent interacts strongly with anions as well as cations. A polar aprotic solvent cannot interact well with any type of ion. Acetone is a polar aprotic solvent because it cannot act as a hydrogen-bond donor. A polar aprotic solvent solvates cations by ion-dipole interactions.

A polar protic solvent is a solvent that contains hydrogen. Water, ethanol and acetic acid are all examples of a polar protic solvent. A polar aprotic solvent is a polar solvent that does not contain hydrogen. Dimethyl sulphoxide, acetonitrile and dichloromethane are all examples of polar aprotic solvents.

The following are true about polar aprotic solvent.
