    B & D

    Explanation:

    The molecules of polar solvents have dipoles with partial polarity. The reason for dipoles is that some parts of the molecules attract much of the electron cloud of the whole molecule than other parts of the molecule. The part with the more electron cloud become partially electronegative while the part with the least electron cloud becomes partially electropositive.

    B) the particles of polar solvents have areas of partial negative charge

    D) the particles of polar solvents have areas of partial positive charge

    Explanation:

    Polar solvents are often liquids that have bonds between two atoms that have areas with partial negative charge, or areas with partial positive charge, this is because the polar solvents do not exactly match because of their shape, ending up with areas of positive charge and areas of negative charge a good example of a polar solvent would be Water. Remember also that in chemistry like dissolves like, so polar dissolves polar, and non polar dissolves non polar.
