Oil and water don't mix.

This is because the water is a polar substance ie in H2O the hydrogens are slightly positive and the oxygens are slightly negative, whereas the oil is non-polar hydrocarbon chains. The water has no reason to attract to the oil molecules, but attracts other water molecules really well - so the water molecules all stay together and won't mix with the oil.

Water's really good at dissolving things like salt, because the salt has positive andnegative charges, which the water molecules naturally attract to.

No, dyed water and oil do not mix because water is polar and oil is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances do not readily mix together. The dye may color the water but it will not dissolve in the oil.

If by "mix" you mean does oil dissolve in soap water, then, yes.The structure of a soap molecule can be divided into two parts: it is in form of a long-chain hydrocarbon which covalently bonded to an ion(more likely a positive one).It is known that in solution with water, a soluble compound is split into positive and negative ions.The same thing happens to soap.However, a molecule of oil will attach itself to the long-chained hydrocarbon,which now has a negative charge; the consequence of this being that a molecule of oil has been removed from the "body" of oil introduced into the soap water.

Remember: A charged molecule dissolves in an ionic solvent, while a neutral molecule(one which does not ionize in solution) will dissolve in another non-ionic solution.

Yes. If you add cleaning detergent or egg yolk to an oil-water

mixture, they will combine. They do this by breaking the surface tension preventing oil and water to mix in the first place

What happens when you shake up oil and water?

Oil and water do not mix due to their different densities and polarities. When shaken together, the oil and water will temporarily mix and form small droplets of oil in the water, but they will quickly separate back into distinct layers due to their immiscibility.
