Polarity Index

The document lists solvents in order of increasing polarity index, which is a measure of how strongly the solvent interacts with polar test compounds. The list ranges from nonpolar solvents like pentane and heptane at the low end of the polarity index to strongly polar solvents like water and dimethyl sulfoxide at the high end.
