How do molecules in the egg yolk are able to produce a stable mixture of olive oil and water?
Molecules in egg yolk, primarily phospholipids and proteins, act as emulsifiers that stabilize mixtures of olive oil and water. The hydrophilic (water-attracting) heads of phospholipids interact with water, while the hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails interact with oil, creating a barrier that prevents the two liquids from separating. This emulsification process forms tiny droplets of oil dispersed in water, resulting in a stable mixture. Additionally, proteins in the yolk contribute to this stability by enhancing the emulsifying action, further preventing separation.

Olive oil is considered a mixture of various compounds, primarily triglycerides, which are larger molecules made up of glycerol and fatty acids. While individual fatty acids can be classified as small to medium-sized molecules, the overall structure of triglycerides makes olive oil a relatively large molecule compared to simple compounds. Additionally, olive oil contains other components like vitamins and antioxidants, which also contribute to its complexity.
