If you were a water molecule in a glass of water how would you best describe your relationship with the water molecules around you?
Bonded hydrogenially, but with much surface tension.
What is difference between glass and a mineral?
mineral
What is responsible for the attraction between water molecules?
Water molecules are attracted to each other by 'cohesive force'. It is the force that holds a droplet of water together in a raindrop, or in a semi-spherical shape if dripped onto glass. Water is also affected by ' adhesive force' which causes the droplet on glass to adhere (stick ) to the glass as well. In a thin glass tube the adhesive force makes the water move upwards.
How do you decrease the number of molecules in a glass of water without changing the number of water molecules?
If the water is impure, you could remove the impurities. If the water is pure, it's impossible to decrease the number of molecules without changing the number of water molecules, which would be the only kind of molecules present in that case.
Is a broken glass a chemical change?
Physical change because the molecules have not changed to form a new substance.
What happens as the molecules in a liquid move around?
the molecules will go slowly around in the glass
Why does water wet glass and mercury does not?
Water wets glass because the force of adhesion between the glass molecules and water molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between the water molecules and glass molecules. Mercury does not wet glass because the force of cohesion is greater than the force of adhesion
Which property allows water to stick to glass?
This is called adherence. It is the force of attraction between the water molecules and the glass molecules.
Does glass have cells?
No, glass is comprised of molecules, and 'cells' can be made of glass(hhaha). ............Cells are components of living things, glass is not alive.
Why did your glass pan explode in the oven?
because the heat made the molecules of the glass burst!
If you were a water molecule in a glass of water how would you best describe your relationship with the water molecules around you?
Bonded hydrogenially, but with much surface tension.
Does glass break or crack with temperature changes?
When temperatures changes this can cause the molecules in an object to contract [ at low temperatures ] or to expand [ high temperatures ] . Glass is a fragile object and if the molecules in glass contract or expand quickly this can cause the glass to break . [SRM] .
Why glass is not a conductor?
the molecules inside the glass roams freely thus making it an insulator of electricity
When you put cool water in the glass why the outside vapour appears?
as the air molecules are free to move , when we pour cold water in glass its surface become cooler than the room temperature , thr air molecules stick with the walls of glass and due to low temperature there these air molecules deposit there.
What three materials are composed of molecules that have covalent bonds?
Glass...
Can you see molecules with a maginfy glass or a microscope?
A magnifying glass is not powerful enough to see molecules. You would need a very high powered microscope to see molecules and it's not likely something you will find in just any science lab.
Why does glass of water sweat?
The glass is not actually "sweating." What you are seeing is condensation of water molecules from the air onto the glass's surface. Because the water in the glass has less energy than the water in the air (it's cooler), energy from the water molecules in the warmer air is given up to warm the cooler water in the glass. This loss of energy results in the air water molecules' inability to break the number of hydrogen bonds between themselves necessary to remain in the gas phase and ultimately the condensation of water onto the outside of the glass surface.
