How the nonpolar character of oil molecules helps when removing oil from water?
Oil molecules are nonpolar, so they will not mix with polar water molecules. This characteristic helps when removing oil from water using nets and floating barriers is that oil molecules won't mix with water molecules and the oil molecules float. Because oil floats on water, the oil can be skimmed off the top of the water.
