Science<\/h1>\n<p><strong>What happens when you mix oil and water? <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Firstly oil and water do not mix. Even if you shake the jar the oil will immediately separate from the water as soon as it settles.\u00a0Oil molecules are attracted to other oil molecules so they stick together. The same goes for water molecules\u2026.. so they just don\u2019t mix \u2013 they are\u00a0<em><strong>immiscible<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Secondly, the oil always floats on top of\u00a0the water because the oil has a lower\u00a0<em><strong>density<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0than water.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Detergent is different again. It is attracted to both water and oil molecules. Detergent grabs onto both types of molecules causing oil droplets to be suspended in the water. When you shake the jar the detergent molecules adhere the water and oil together forming an emulsion. An emulsion is the combination of molecules that are not normally attracted to each other, that don\u2019t usually mix. That is why detergent is so useful for cleaning\u00a0greasy dishes!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Credit:\u00a0 <a
