How does vegetable oil dissolve gum?

It has to do with polar and non-polar atomic bonding in the molecules composing the gum and oil. Water won't work because it's fairly polar, meaning the H2O molecule has a greater charge at one end. With polarity and non-polarity, like dissolves like. Since oil is non-polar and has a neutral overall charge, it tends to dissolve the weaker molecular bonds formed between the gum and the hair.


Does salt dissolve in vegetable oil?

Salt cannot dissolve in oil. This is because salt is a non-polar substance, because it's bonds are non-polar (this is not to say though that polar bonds always means its a polar substance, but that's another issue). Oil is a polar substance (meaning one end of its molecule is has a slight negative charge, the other a slightly positive charge. It is known that LIKE dissolves LIKE. (e.g. Polar dissovles Polar). There are VERY few exceptions to this.


What does an oil molecule look like?

No, oils contain a number of different molecules. For example, vegetable oils contain a lot of triglyceride (which is a compound), and petroleum contains a number of different hydrocarbons.
