I believe it is: The solute particles have no attraction for the solvent molecules.

anonymous · Answer

since they're both polar

danjs · Answer

If the solute-solute intermolecular forces of attraction are greater than the solvent-solute forces, the substance will be soluble.

danjs · Answer

The solubility depends on the strengths of the intermolecular forces For Example, ( the polarity of the solvent). 
The relative strengths are: H-bonds > dipole-dipole >dipole-induced dipole > London dispersion.

danjs · Answer

So if you have a polar substance with weaker dipole forces or dispersion forces, it will be carried into solution by a stronger attraction to the water molecules, it will be surrounded by water
