Why does paraffin wax not melt in water?

0

If paraffin gets hot enough it will melt. It will float on water. Water is a polar compound. It has a positive charge on one side of a molecule and a negative charge on the other. The paraffin molecule has a neutral charge. Because their electrical charges are different, one does not dissolve in the other.
