What property of oil makes it float on water?

1. because of the hydrophobicity of oil, oil and water do not mix. Therefore you will get two layers.





2. the compound with the lowest density will be on top, which is oil.What property of oil makes it float on water?
The true chemical reason is that it is nonpolar (meaning it's hydrophobic and does not mix with water) whereas water is polar. All the nonpolar molecules of oil are pushed out of the water molecules and separate from the water.What property of oil makes it float on water?
it's density less than water
I think it's do with with hydrophobic interactions.
there are total oil in whichnarab country and

it's weight. it is lighter in weight than water.
