Question

In a oil spill why dose the oil do not mix with sea water

Answer 1

the different minerals and they obviously don't like each other (my little brother wanted to threw that in) my science teacher told me the different minerals, its like trying to put together 2 magnets that are on the same side, it doesnt work very well. the oil wants to stay on the top and cover up the water BECAUSE!!! the oils minerals are heavier then the water minerals. 

Answer 2

Lipids are hydrophobic. Lipids are hydrophilic. Lipids are saturated. Lipids are unsaturated.", the correct answer is that lipids (fats) are hydrophobic. "Hydrophobic" could be translated as "fearing water" and it's how we say when something cannot dissolve in water, as is the case for lipids
