What property of liquids will allow a paperclip to float on water?
surface tension
What surface of water can act like a sort of skin due to a property of liquids called?
Surface tension.
What is the property of water that makes it possible for rocks to skip on its surface?
surface tension
What is the property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force?
Surface Tension
How does surface tension affect your environment?
Surface tension affects everyone's environment in many ways. Surface tension is the property of water that makes life to exist as we are accustomed. Surface tension also makes our body cells functional.
What is a property of water that has surface tension?
chemical bond
Which physical property of water allows the basilisk lizard to perform this function?
surface tension
Is surface tension is extensive property?
No. Unit of surface tension is energy per area. An extensive property divided by an extensive property becomes intensive.
What property of liquids will allow a paperclip to float on water?
surface tension
What property of water let's bugs walk on water?
surface tension
What surface of water can act like a sort of skin due to a property of liquids called?
Surface tension.
What property of what gives it a strong surface tension?
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
What is the scientific name for surface tension?
The scientific name for surface tension is interfacial tension. It refers to the property of a liquid that causes its surface to act like a thin, elastic sheet.
What property of H2O is associated with a meniscus?
surface tension
What is surface tension as a physical property of water?
Certain: An object heavier than water usually sinks to the bottom. If you gently place it on the surface however, it might float on the surface due to surface tension. This can obviously not be attained with something like a brick. You need something small like a needle to get to see this effect. Not certain: My guess is that this has something to do with hydrogen bridge bonds. (Something similar to a chemical bond but far weaker.)
Do solids also show the property of surface tension?
No chance as there is no free surface
What is the property of water that makes it possible for rocks to skip on its surface?
surface tension
