Answer:
Water molecules are made up of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms . Oils, by contrast, are nonpolar, and as a result they're not attracted to the polarity of water molecules. In fact, oils are hydrophobic, or “water fearing.” Instead of being attracted to water molecules, oil molecules are repelled by them.
Oil and water are normally immiscible, but with proper mixing and stability agents, a permanent mixture, or emulsion, can be achieved. O/w emulsions are comprised of oil droplets suspended in an aqueous phase, while w/o emulsions are the opposite- water droplets suspended in a continuous oil phase
