In chemistry, there is a common note that says, "Like dissolves like".
This pertains to the concept that polar substances can dissolve only other polar substances. Also, nonpolar substances are also only able to dissolve nonpolar substances.
Polarity of the substance depends primarily on the type of bond and the difference in electronegativity.
Water is a polar substance while vegetable oil is not. From the concept presented above, it may be concluded that water will not be able to dissolve the vegetable oil and the assumption is logical.
Answer:
A camel stores fat in its hump, while the cactus stores water in its thick stem.
Explanation:
The number of protons found in the nucleus equals the number of electrons that surround it, giving the atom a neutral charge (neutrons have zero charge). Most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen.Hoped this helped

Explanation:
The reason why the droplets are spherical is the surface area to volume ratio of the falling droplet in a gravitational field. Recall that a sphere has a small surface area to volume ratio.
Between X and Y, one key difference that will define the rate at which the two drops of liquid falls is the viscosity of the fluid. Since the images were not attached, I can not really tell what liquid droplet is more flatter than the other.
However, the liquid with a greater surface tension will form larger droplets and experience a greater air resistance as the droplet falls. Hence the less the surface tension, the flatter the droplets. Cohesive forces pull molecules of a liquid droplets inwards leading to a more spherical shape and reducing the surface area. Surface tension is therefore the reason why liquids form droplets.
