Can the sugar/salt and oil be mixed with each other? Why or Why not?
Salt is heavier than oil, so when you pour salt on the oil, it sinks to the bottom of the mixture, carrying a blob of oil with it.
Oil molecules do not contain any charge. Oil is comprised of long chains of hydrogen and carbon atoms linked to each other. It does not contain any net charge making it nonreactive. So, salt and oil are not "chemically alike." One is charged, the other is not. As a result, when salt is added to the oil, no bonds are broken. Salt and oil simply do not mix. When combined, they remain distinctly separate.
Similarly, sugar does not dissolve in the oil and they remain distinctly separate.
