Since water is a polar molecule so it will only dissolve polar substances. Because "Like dissolves like".

Liquids mix when the intermolecular forces between molecules of different liquids are similar and can overcome any repulsive forces. Liquids that do not mix typically have different intermolecular forces, leading to limited interactions between molecules and preventing a homogeneous mixture.
The reason why some liquids mix while others don't is due to their chemical composition. For example, oil does not mix with water because the molecules do not blend.
Many liquids can mix with water, including alcohol, vinegar, juice, and milk. The ability of a liquid to mix with water depends on factors such as polarity and solubility.
Examples of liquids that mix completely include water and ethanol, as well as acetone and methanol. These liquids form a homogeneous mixture with no visible boundaries between the components.
Immiscible.
Immiscible liquids are to miscible liquids. Miscible liquids can mix evenly with each other to form a homogeneous mixture, whereas immiscible liquids cannot mix evenly and form a heterogeneous mixture with distinct layers.
Almost any oil and water do not mix. Immiscible is the word
