* Polar vs. Nonpolar: Ammonium nitrate is a polar compound due to the presence of ionic bonds between the ammonium (NH₄⁺) and nitrate (NO₃⁻) ions. Cyclohexane is a nonpolar solvent, consisting of only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
* "Like Dissolves Like": The general rule of solubility is "like dissolves like." This means polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.
* Immiscibility: Since ammonium nitrate is polar and cyclohexane is nonpolar, they are immiscible. They will not mix or form a homogeneous solution.
Instead, you'd find ammonium nitrate soluble in polar solvents like water.
