Other then the obvious answer of oil there are also most metallic oxides dont mix with water and also most carbon compounds and almost all carbonates.

Oil could be an example since when you take water, and add oil, instead of dissolving, it forms tiny droplets when it is shaken. There are metallic oxides, most of them as well as all carbonates excepting ammonium and group I carbonates. Then to go specific, lead sulphate, silver sulphate, barium sulphate. Then calcium hydroxide is partially soluble in water.

Oil would be the classic example. This is because oil is a lipid, and lipids tend to have little or no solubility in water. Lipids are highly nonpolar compounds, while water is polar. It is said that "like dissolves like," meaning that polar solutes dissolve well in polar solvents, and nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents. So lipids like triglycerides and others do not mix well with water.

basicaly water is a polar substance so water will not mix well with a substance that is non-polar since Polar does not mix with non-polar.
