Liquid water is held together by hydrogen bonds. Oils and fats not have any polar part and so for them to dissolve in water they would have to break some of water's hydrogen bonds. ... Water will not do this so the oil is forced to stay separate from the water.

What happens to a glass of water when it is poured into a jar of vegetable oil?

When a glass of water is poured into a jar of vegetable oil, the water will not mix with the oil due to their different densities and polarities. Water is denser than oil, so it will sink and form a separate layer at the bottom of the jar. This creates a distinct interface between the two liquids, with the oil floating above the water.
