Immiscible liquids :
The liquids which form a separate layer and does not mix with another liquid are called immiscible liquids.
Examples -
Oil and Water
The classic example of immiscible liquids is oil and water. Water is very polar; the positive hydrogen end of the molecule forms especially strong hydrogen bonds with the negative oxygen end of another water molecule. Oil in this example can be any liquid fat or even motor oil. Oil is a non-polar molecule, so when you put the two liquids together, they do not mix. In addition to enthalpy, water is a special case where entropy also prevents mixing in what is known as the hydrophobic effect.
