What is the attraction that causes water and other liquids to form drops and thin films?

Surface Tension


Do liquids that have higher tension produce drops that are flatter or more nearly sperical ttan liquids with lowersurface tension?

Surface tension causes molecules to hold to themselves more tightly. Therefore high surface tension liquids, like pure water, will form a taller drop and low surface tension substances, like oil, will spread out and be flat.


Why water drops that fall on a surface tend to form rounded drops or beads?

The inherent property of any substance is to aggregate together, which is caused by Van der Waals' forces. These forces cause the molecules to be held together and create surface tension, in the case of liquids. When you drop water onto a surface, the water molecules adhere together due to holding those forces and try to come closer. Geometrically, a sphere has the greatest surface area to volume ratio, which is also the most stable shape for liquids to conform into. Thus, you get rounded drops or beads.
