Oil and water separate because water is a polar compound and oil is a non polar compound. Or, water has a positive charge on one side of the compound and a negative charge on the other side. It mixes with compounds with charges on one side. Oil does not have any electric charges. It only mixes with a compound that has no electric charges.
Oil separates from water for two reasons. First of all, it is electrically repelled from water because the lipid molecules that comprise oil are electronically well balanced whereas water is highly polar. The result is that no part of the lipid is attracted to either electric pole of the water molecule. Despite this, oil and water can be combined via agitation (such as mixing a vinaigrette). However, oil is less dense than water and will eventually float to the top of the oil/water mixture.

What is the difference between a soluble and insoluble?
Soluble describes something that can be dissolved in water. Insoluble describes something that can not be dissolved in water. Salt is soluble, it will dissolve in water. Oil is insoluble, oil will float on the surface of water.
What does insoluble and soluble substances?
A substance is soluble with another substance if it can be dissolved into it. solubility is defined with respect to another substance (usually water) eg) salt is soluble in water. oil is insoluble in water.
Is flour soluble in oil?
yes
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.
Is oil in insoluble?
no oil is not insoluble in water but in flour it is soluble. it has both properties
Will albumin dissolve in water?

Is oil in water soluble or insoluble?
Oil is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. This means that oil molecules do not mix or dissolve in water, leading to the separation of the two substances.
Is flour soluble in oil?
yes

What are the examples of soluble and insoluble?
An example of an item that is soluble in water is salt. If you put salt in water, the salt disappears. An insoluble item in water is oil or sand, because no matter how many times you stir it, the sand or oil is always there.
Solubility of pb with lipids?
The lipid glycerol is soluble in both water and ether. Olive oil is soluble in ether, but not water. A solid lipid is insoluble in water, methanol, and ether.
Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in keroscene oil?
Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is a polar solvent that can easily interact with and separate the ions of the compound, allowing them to dissolve. Kerosene oil, on the other hand, is nonpolar and cannot effectively interact with and separate the ions of the compound, making it insoluble in kerosene oil.
Are liquids soluble or insoluble in water?
Many liquids dissolve in water, and many do not. In chemistry , there is a rule "like dissolves like", so if the nature of the liquid is similar to water i.e. highly polar, it will be soluble. This rule is not infallible. Butanol is very polar, but is only about 2% soluble in water.
