There are many compounds that are soluble in oil but not water. These compounds include alkanes and other organic molecules that are mostly nonpolar. Even long-chain alcohols are soluble in oil but not water, though one part of the molecule is polar.

Which substances is soluble in water sand sugar oil glass?

Well- sand drops to the bottom, so insoluble. Sugar dissolves in water- warm water dissolves it quicker (coffee, tea), oil sits in layer on the top so does not dissolve. Glass- well luckily glass is insoluble in water so coke and stuff like that can be contained in glass bottles. A purist who measures solubility in atoms or molecules per litre would argue that that all of the insoluble substances dissolve too some extent.
