Why will vineger spread and oil wont?

Vinegar when placed in water will mix completely. Water and vinegar are called aqueous based fluids, so they mix completely. Oil is formed from hydrocarbon compounds. These compounds have a mutual attraction to each other, but will not mix with water. If oil is place in a cup of water, it will form a thin film (oil slick) on the top of the water. If we reallly shake up oil and water, some bits of oil may appear to mix with water. This is called an emulsion. If allowed to settle, the oil will come to the surface again.


Why doesn't oil mix with anything?

While we know that oil will not mix with water, it is not accurate to say that oil will not mix with anything. Water is what is called a polar solvent, and oil is a nonpolar molecule. That's why the two don't mix. But there are a large number of nonpolar solvents that will mix with oil, and these include many organic solvents.
