Oil and water don't mix because oil is made up of non-polar molecules while water molecules are polar in nature. ... one end is polar which attracts to water and the other end is non-polar which attracts to oil

Answer: The reason is related to the properties of oil and water. Water molecules are made up of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.
