Why is it particularly difficult to separate oil and water once they are mixed?
Water is a polar molecule and has partial positive and negative charges at either end. Oils are usually long hydrocarbon chains, which consist of Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.

Water is attracted to itself as it has charges and oils are attracted to itself because of intermollecular forces. particles need to be able to intertwine in order to be "mixed", therefore oil and water remain separate.
