The oil drop model for proteins basically refers to the fact that in water, oil sticks together to form an oil droplet rather than being dispersed throughout the water in many droplets.
Why? - Because of the hydrophobic effect. hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains cause water to form "cages" around them (this is because water cannot hydrogen bond to the protein so makes extra hydrogen bonds to itself), becoming more ordered and therefore losing entropy (S) which is unfavourable.
This is the same for hydrophobic residues in the protein chain. If exposed, water will become ordered around them, losing entropy. The hydrophobic effect aims to minimise this entropic loss by burying the hydrophobic residues within the core of the protein. Hydrophobic residues can form relatively strong Van der waals forces with each other while the polar residues can form H-bonds with the water molecules.

What happen with drop of oil on a paper?
When a drop of oil falls on paper, the paper absorbs some of the oil while the oil spreads out and is eventually absorbed by the paper due to capillary action. The oil can leave a stain on the paper as it is absorbed.

How did the atomic model evolve from indirect evidence?
The atomic model evolved from indirect evidence through various experiments like the cathode ray tube, the oil drop experiment, and the Rutherford scattering experiment. These experiments provided insights into the structure of the atom, leading to the development of atomic models such as the plum pudding model, the nuclear model, and eventually the modern quantum mechanical model.
The liquid drop model?
The mechanism of nuclear fission is best understood by noting that a massive nucleus behaves in many respects like a drop of liquid . According to this liquid drop model , the neutron absorbed by the 92U235 nucleus gives the nucleus extra energy (like heating a drop of water.
Which could not be a compound from which a protein could be directly formed 1. polypeptide 2. amino acid 3. oil or 4. dipeptide?
Oil could not be a compound from which a protein could be directly formed. Proteins are formed from amino acids, which are then linked together to form polypeptides and ultimately proteins. Oil is a different type of organic compound and does not contain the necessary building blocks for protein synthesis.

Is oil toxic?
It depends on what kind of oil and how much oil you drink. If you drink just one drop of sunflower oil, then you will be okay, but if you drink a drop of gasoline, you would have a serious stomachache.
