Verified step by step guidance

Identify the key concept being asked about in the problem, which is the ability of liquids to mix without separating into two phases.

Understand that this concept is related to the interactions between molecules in different liquids and how they can form a homogeneous mixture.

Recognize that the term used to describe this ability is 'miscibility'. Miscibility refers to the property of two substances to mix in all proportions, forming a homogeneous solution.

Consider the other options provided: Polarizability refers to the ease with which the electron cloud of a molecule can be distorted, Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, Dynamic equilibrium refers to a state where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, and Compressibility is the measure of how much a substance can be compacted.

Conclude that the correct term for the ability of liquids to mix without separating into two phases is 'miscibility', as it directly addresses the concept of forming a single phase from two liquids.
