Do molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen mix easily with water?

I am not a chemist, so I can't give you the "chemical" reason, but I would think that do NOT mix easily with water. My reasoning is that molecules that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called "hydrocarbons", and a very common hydrocarbon is oil. Oil does not mix with water, so I assume that the answer to your question is no.
