Answer:
Verified
Immiscible liquids form two separate layers in a separating funnel because they do not dissolve in each other. Their particles are not able to mix uniformly, so they remain as separate liquids. The liquid with higher density settles at the bottom, while the liquid with lower density forms the upper layer. For example, in a mixture of oil and water, water forms the lower layer because it is denser, while oil forms the upper layer.
