water is a polar molecule (i negative hydrogen side and a positive charged oxygen side because of the share of electrons in a covalent bond) and oil has non-polar carbon and hydrogen bonds. water is only able to dissolve compounds that are polar. since oils have no polar ends water cannot dissolve it.

∙ 15y agobecause it water and oil each of them has a negative charge and positive charge so they can't be mixed together.

I need a list of miscible and immiscible liquids.?
immiscible oil and water copper and cobalt
What are the examples of immiscible liquids?
immiscible - oil and water miscible - water and ethyl alcohol
Which two are miscible with one another oil water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol. Oil is immiscible with either of those.
What is immiscible?
Immiscible liquids do not mix with each other and don't form homogeneous mixtures. An example of this type of relationship is between water and oil (they separate)
What is it called when oil and water don't mix?
Immiscible. When shaken an emulsion may form.
Can water mix with oil?
No, they are immiscible. I want to improve the answer: Though oil and water are immiscible normally but they can be made immiscible by use of suitable surfactants or better say emulsifying agents resulting in the formation of mixture of oil and water called as emulsion.
Do olive oil mix with water?
Water and olive oil are not miscible.
I need a list of miscible and immiscible liquids.?
immiscible oil and water copper and cobalt
Are water and oil immiscible?
Yes, because water is polar and oil is non-polar. So they don't mix at the particle level, which is what immiscible means.
What are the examples of immiscible liquids?
immiscible - oil and water miscible - water and ethyl alcohol
What are immiscible substances?
Immiscible means incapable of mixing, but you'd (you might) have to ask further incase there is a special solution called 'immiscible solution' of which its inability to mix is only one aspect of it.
Why oil does not mix with water?
Water has a polar molecule, while oil has a non-polar molecule. Because of this, oil and water are immiscible.
Would oil dissolve in water yes or no?
No. Under normal circumstances oil and water are immiscible (they will not mix)
Which two are miscible with one another oil water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol. Oil is immiscible with either of those.
Example of miscible?
oil and water are immiscible water and alcohol are miscible
Why oil and water are deemed immiscible substances?
Because they don't mix.
What do you call liquids that don't mix together for example oil and water?
immiscible
