it cannot form hydrogen bonds with the water as it has no dipoles. this is because carbon does not form ionic bonds, it forms covalent ones.

CS2 does not mix with water because, as a whole the molecule is nonpolar, and provides no attractive forces to separate the water molecules.

Think of carbon di-sulphide as being similar to carbon-dioxide. It is a covalent symmetrical molecule (hence low boiling point) with no hydrogen-bonding properties, therefore there is no electrical attraction with the water molecule, so no propensity to dissolve.

It's heavier and therefore sinks to the bottom. See the link below.

CS2 is nonpolar therefore it is insoluble in waser.
