Question 824264: Why is oil unable to dissolve well in water? (1 point)
Select one:
a. Oil is nonpolar and water is polar, which means they have no attraction for each other.

c. Water has a greater density than oil, which means that they are not compatible for mixing together.
d. The cohesive properties of water molecules make it difficult for substances like oil to dissolve.
