    What Is Oil?: Is Nitrogen Drink Dangerous For Health

    Oil and water do not mix together due to differences in their molecular structures. Molecules of oil are non-polar and larger than water molecules, which are polar. As a result, oil molecules do not interact with water molecules and instead stick to each other. Additionally, oil is less dense than water, so it floats on the water's surface rather than mixing in. An emulsifier can force the molecules to mix by dispersing droplets of one liquid throughout the other, but the mixture will eventually separate again into distinct layers.

    As we know that everything around us is made up of tiny particles known

    as molecules. The way two substances interact depends on the molecules


    that make up the substances. Therefore the molecular structure of water
    and oil determines the way that they interact with each other. Also, oil
    and water do not repel each other. We have seen lot many times that oil
    and water do not mix together or haven’t you noticed that when we wash
    oily hands in just water still oil remains in our hand. Why is it so? Let us
    find out from this article that why oil and water doesn’t mix together.
    What is oil?
    Oil is a hydrocarbon in liquid form which is greasy to touch and is formed
    by natural resources or the breakdown of fats. It is combustible that
    burns. It is used as a fuel i.e. petrol is made from oil only; in houses oil is
    used for cooking food and it act as lubricant also.
    Why oil and water doesn’t mix together?

    Molecules of oil are bigger than that of water and therefore do not mix
    easily. On the other hand molecules of water are polar, i.e. it is positively
    charged at one end and negatively charged at the other whereas oil
    molecules do not have; as a consequence they tend to stay away from
    water molecules. Therefore, oil and water don’t mix together. Water
    molecules are made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom
    each. Since only opposites attract, the water molecules stick to each
    other. Polar molecules only dissolve in polar solvents. Similarly, non-polar
    molecules only dissolve in non-polar solvents. Oil is made up of non-polar
    molecules having negative charges, or electrons, surrounding the
    molecule. And so oil molecule stick to each other. Even if you stir water
    and oil together, they will eventually separate in to two different layers.
    But they can be forced to mix together by adding an emulsifier. This
    emulsion will create a stable mixture of water with droplets of oil spread
    through it or oil with droplets of water spread through it, does not settle
    out.
    Why oil floats in water?

    When we put some oil in water instead of mixing it together, it starts
    floating on top of the water. Because it is less dense i.e. as spoonful of oil
    weighs less than a spoonful of water. When we sprinkle salt in water, now
    what will happen? Salt is denser than water, it weighs the oil down and
    makes it to sink. Once the salt dissolves in water, the oil floats back up to
    the top of the water.
    From the article it is clear that why oil does not mix with water and floats
    on it.
