Wax does not dissolves in water because the bonding structure of the water molecule and the wax differ a lot.
While kerosene is more similar in nature due to hydrocarbon bonding and hence wax is soluble in keroserne.
Explanation:
Wax does not dissolves in water because the bonding structure of the water molecule and the wax differ a lot.
Water has di-polar bonding covalent bond.
Wax has covalent bond with no polarity and cannot form the atomic interaction with the atoms of the water.
