Why Mercury is spherical in shape liquid?
The reason mercury droplets are spherical is because they do easily wet other surfaces. For this reason, mercury forms spheres, which have the smallest possible ration of surface area to volume.
Why are rain drops spherical?
Due to the hydrogen bonds that are attracted to one another. This attraction pulls the molecules together and forms the shape.
The organism called volvox forms spherical what?
They form spherical colonies. Hope this helps!
Why does liquid bead into tiny spheres when splashed onto extremely hot surfaces?
When a surface is far above the liquid's boiling point and the liquid is dropped onto it, the part of the liquid which first contacts the surface flashes into vapor. The vapor forms a layer under the liquid. The liquid is "shattered" into drops by the force of the suddenly expanding and escaping vapor and by the liquid's surface tension. The vapor is a poor heat conductor which then protects the drops riding on top of it. This is called the "Leidenfrost effect".
