Yes. If you put water and hexane in a beaker or a container together, the hexane will be on top of the water. One way to see this is to dye the water. They do not mix because water is polar and the hexane cannot dissolve in it. It is on top because, guess why? It is less dense than water. That is why anything floats on water... it is less dense! Hope that answers your question!

Does hexane have any unshared electrons?
A hydrogen atom can lose its only electron in an ionic bond. The atom would have no electrons. Actually the correct answer is No.
The molar heat capacity of gaseous hexane at 25 degrees Celsius is 142.6 J What is the specific heat?
142.6 J/(mol*C) ----------------- = 1.65 J/(g*C)86 g/mol
Why did the needle float easier on the water than on alcohol?
Water has a much stronger surface tension than alcohol does. Because water molecules are highly polar, they have a relatively strong attraction for each other (as compared to the attraction that the molecules of most other liquids have for each other) and this creates a kind of limited solidity on the surface, called surface tension. The alcohol molecule is much less polar and has much less attraction for other alcohol molecules, and correspondingly less surface tension. It is the surface tension that can support a needle on the surface of the water, despite the fact that the needle is denser than water and is not buoyant enough to float.
What are the results of can water float on water?
The results of can water float on water is that the water builds a ocean.

What is fat-solube?
fat-solube is another name for lipophilicity a ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fat,oils,lipids,and fat-solube non-polar solvents like hexane
What would easily be solube in water?
Salt
How does water dissolve the salt?
because salt is solube in water
Why is hexane soluble in water and gasoline is not?
Hexane and gasoline both are insoluble in water.
Are water and hexane miscible or immiscible?
Hexane and water are not miscible as the water is a polar solvent and hexane is a non-polar solvent, hence it is immiscible. There is a proverb that like dissolves like.

No, hexane is not soluble in water, hot or cold.
A definition for solube?
Solube (in science) is when a solid will dissolve in a liquid
What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
