There are two factors that we see in water, it's adhesive and cohesive abilities. Better put, it's the ability for water to stick to surfaces as well as stick to itself. This gives an overall "surface tension" that will develop as the bead of water grows. This amount of mass and volume will get too great, however, and the water will no longer be able to hold itself together. If you wanted to lower the surface tension, adding soap would make it so that the water would break after fewer drops.
