Detailed explanation-1: -Water and oil do not mix. They are said to be immiscible. This is because water is a polar molecule – its structure means that is has a positive charge one end and a negative charge the other end. Water molecules stick together because the positive end of one water molecule is attracted to the negative end of another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Immiscible liquids are the liquids that are completely insoluble in each other. For example: Kerosene and water, oil and water, benzene and water, honey and oil, etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oil doesn’t dissolve in water, i.e., it is immiscible in water. This is because its molecules are non-polar while water is a polar solvent.
Detailed explanation-4: -However, petrol does not mix with water and it forms a separate layer on top of water. Thus, it is immiscible in water.
