Oil molecules are only attracted to other oil molecules. Water is more dense (heavier) than oil so they can’t mix. Oil floats above the water.
Is oil lighter than water?
Oil. Oil is more dense than alcohol, but less dense than water. The molecules that make up the oil are larger than those that that make up water, so they cannot pack as tightly together as the water molecules can.
What is the heaviest liquid?
Mercury is the heaviest liquid.
Answer: Water molecules are packed more closely together than the long molecules that make up oil. The oxygen atoms in water are also smaller and heavier than the carbon atoms in oil. This contributes to making water more dense than oil.
