    None of theses are emulsified.

    Try to mix a few drops olive oil and plenty water. Result: a temporary mixture which quiickly separates out again.

    Add washing up liquid, or shampoo, and shake the mixture a little - or stir. Result: an emulsion. Notice that this emulsion is not transparent.

    Throw a match in each mix and you have a light show, that's what they do.
