oil won't mix because water is polar and oil is nonpolar. the molecules are not attracted towards each other. Molecules in water are of a polar solvent and are attracted to other things such as sugar.

Because oil is less dense than water, it floats instead of mixing in with water. i think this is the answer, but im not sure, hope this helps
