Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
What else can I help you with?
What property of what gives it a strong surface tension?
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
What are the 5 propertys of water?
polarity ionic bonds h bonds
Why will a vacuum pump not work in a well that is more than 10 m deep?
The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well. That is only strong enough to support a column of water that is 10m tall.The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well.

What is the reason the high surface tension of water?
The reason behind the high surface tension of water is hydrogen bonds. This very strong bond enables small insects to walk on the surface of water.
Why does dawn dish soap repel pepper?
Soap breaks the surface tension of water. Pepper will only float where there is strong surface tension.
Responsible for the surface tension of water?
Strong attractive forces (hydrogen bonding) among the water molecules.
What attraction is important to water striders?
Surface tension is important to water striders because surface tension gives them the ability to float and not sink and drown.
Why would a needle flaot on the water?
A needle can float on water due to surface tension. The surface tension of water is strong enough to support the needle and prevent it from sinking, as long as the needle is carefully placed on the water and doesn't break the surface tension.
Why does soapy water do not have surface tension?
Soapy water does have some surface tension to it but it is very negligible. However pure water have good surface tension due to strong hydrogen bonding. This is the reason a water strider bug can walk and paperclip will float on water.
What property of liquids will allow a paperclip to float on water?
Surface tension is the property of liquids that allows a paperclip to float on water. Surface tension is caused by the cohesive forces between water molecules, creating a "skin" on the surface strong enough to support the weight of the paperclip.
Could a thumbtack float or sink?
A thumbtack is typically denser than water so it would sink if placed in water. However, if the surface tension of the water is strong enough, a thumbtack might be able to "float" on the surface, supported by the surface tension.
Does a paperclip float better in water or in midair?
In water because the higher density of molecules gives the paper clips a surface to rest on.
