Oil and water do not mix because they have different molecular structures. Oil is nonpolar and water is polar, so they cannot form stable bonds with each other. This difference in polarity causes them to repel each other, resulting in the formation of separate layers.

The ability of water to dissolve a wide variety of substances makes it a universal solvent.
