    Sorry if this is a silly question, but does that mean that they don't mix well (like oil and water)?

      It's not as extreme as oil and water, no. But it's correct that they don't mix as well. Especially if you consider volumes the size of jupiter. A layer of hydrogen gas (h2) will weigh less than a layer of oxygen(o2), so if they're at the same temperature then they will separate over time.
