Oil, in a general sense, is a chemical compound that is not miscible with water, and is in a liquid state at ambient temperatures. Such substances are sometimes described as hydrophobic (meaning water hating) or lipophilic (meaning fat loving).
Emulsifiers allow oils and water to mix.
Certain oils are liquid hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof. Hydrocarbons are long carbon and hydrogen chains known as alkanes, alkenes , depending upon bond orientation. They differ from other organic compounds, such as alcohols, ketones and ethers in that they are non-polar. Waxes are chemically similar to this kind of oil, differing only in that they have longer hydrocarbon chains, resulting in a greater number of intermolecular attractions per molecule, and are thus solids at room temperature.
