Answer: Oil
Oil is any substance that is liquid at ambient temperatures and is hydrophobic but soluble in organic solvents. Oils have a high carbon and hydrogen content and are no polar substances. Scientists still don't know for sure where oil comes from, how long it took to make, or how much there is. More oil was in Earth from the beginning than what's been produced by dead animals, but that we've yet to tap it.
