A drop of water placed on a smooth, dry surface will form a dome-shaped droplet instead of flowing outward in different directions. Which of these best explains this observation?
The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms are very strong.
The electrons in the atoms attract the electrons in the other atoms.
Water molecules at the surface experience fewer hydrogen bonds than water molecules within the liquid.
Water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid.

surface tension- the hydrogen attractions keep it together
OpenStudy (omarbirjas):
Its A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh, I was thinking it was C
OpenStudy (davidusa):
they aren't exactly strong though
OpenStudy (davidusa):
they're pretty weak, which is why you can break water easily- like if u pour water drip by drip the whole water stuff doesn't stay together- low viscosity

So would it be C then ?
OpenStudy (omarbirjas):
Its A
OpenStudy (davidusa):
no its still a
