Answer:

No oil does not sink in water

Explanation:

Because oil is less dense than water, it will always float on top of water, creating a surface layer of oil. ... As a result, detergents can bind to both water and oil molecules

. In fact, oils are hydrophobic, or “water fearing.” Instead of being attracted to water molecules, oil molecules are repelled by them. As a result, when you add oil to a cup of water the two don’t mix with each other. Because oil is less dense than water, it will always float on top of water, creating a surface layer of oil. You might have seen this on streets after a heavy rain—some water puddles will have a coating of oil floating on them.
