What property of liquids will allow a paperclip to float on water?
surface tension
Why the needle of the iron swims on the water surface when kept gently?
It is due to the peculiar property of liquids called SURFACE tension. The free surface would act as if a stretched membrane.
Which property of water causes drops on a freshly waxed car?
This phenomenon is called surface tension.
Is the curve at a liquids surface by which you measure the volume of a liquid?
The meniscus is the curve at a liquid's surface by which one measures the volume of the liquid. A meniscus can be concave or convex depending on whether it is attracted to itself or the glass.
Viscosity is a property in which state of matter?
yes viscosity is a property of gas
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 what property of liquids?
"surface tension"
Why the needle of the iron swims on the water surface when kept gently?
It is due to the peculiar property of liquids called SURFACE tension. The free surface would act as if a stretched membrane.
Why do some liquids display more of a meniscus than others?
It is due to a property called Surface Tension here are some of the values Water 71.97 Sugar Water 80+ and so on
The ability of some organisms to be able to walk on water is due to which property of water NAME the property?
The property of water allowing some insects and other animals to walk on its surface is called "surface tension".
What property causes water to form beads?
The property that causes water to form beads is called surface tension.
Which property of water causes a curved surface?
Adhesion is the property of water causes the curved surface
How does the surface tension of water compare with the tensions of most other liquids?
The surface tension of water is higher than that of most other liquids. Water has a surface tension of 7.29 * 10-2 J/m2 at 20oC.
What characteristic of water allows it to support the weight of objects more dense than water?
Surface Tension-Surface tension is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. It is revealed, for example, in floating of some objects on the surface of water, even though they are denser than water, and in the ability of some insects (e.g.Water striders) and even reptiles (basilisk) to run on the water surface. This property is caused by cohesion of like molecules, and is responsible for many of the behaviors of liquids.
Which property of water causes drops on a freshly waxed car?
This phenomenon is called surface tension.
Is the curve at a liquids surface by which you measure the volume of a liquid?
The meniscus is the curve at a liquid's surface by which one measures the volume of the liquid. A meniscus can be concave or convex depending on whether it is attracted to itself or the glass.
Why does water pool or puddle on a flat surface instead of spreading out evenly?
surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together
