Yes, pure water is a one molecule based structure, which hold together better than a mixture. When soap or other chemical is added, it breaks surface tension by getting in the way of each water molecule. Try putting water drops on a penny to build a bubble, then add a small drop of soap to it, you'll see that when soap is added, the water bubble collapses.
Soapy water has more surface tension than clean water due to the presence of soap molecules, which lower the surface tension of water by reducing the attraction between water molecules at the surface. This decrease in surface tension allows for soapy water to spread more easily and form bubbles.
Clean water has nore surface tension than soapy water. The soap in the water sort of breaks up hydrogen bonds. This makes the water a more efficient cleaner because with less surface tension it will soak into clothes, etc. instead of bearing up.
Yes, the addition of surfactants such as soap lowers the surface tension of water.
Tap water!
Soap molecules lower the surface tension of water by reducing the cohesion between water molecules. The hydrophobic (water-repellent) tail of the soap molecule disrupts the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, preventing them from forming a strong surface tension. This allows the soapy water to spread out more easily and wet surfaces.
Fresh water has higher surface tension compared to soapy water, which allows the drops to hold together in a more compact shape on the nickel. Soapy water has lower surface tension due to the presence of surfactants, causing the drops to spread out more thinly on the surface.
Soap feels soapy due to its surfactant properties. Surfactants reduce the surface tension of water, allowing it to more easily penetrate and wash away dirt and oils from the skin. This gives soap its characteristic slippery and sudsy texture.
Soap reduces the surface tension of water by disrupting the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. This allows the water to spread out more easily and penetrate surfaces to lift away dirt and oil.
Water has the highest surface tension of common liquids at room temperature. This is due to its strong hydrogen bonding, which creates cohesive forces between water molecules that pull them together and give water its high surface tension.

Because honey is stikier
Yes it is not possible. Because as soap is added then surface tension would get reduced and so possibility of float becomes less. When we carefully place the same needle on ordinary water floating is quite possible as water has more surface tension
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
You can float a razor blade on water due to the 'Surface Tension' of the water. This is the tendancy of the water molecules to stay tightly together, which is why a water drop forms a 'hump' on a surface. Soap is a 'wetting agent', or surfactant. When you add soap to the liquid, the surface tension is drastically reduced, and the water molecules 'flow' around objects, like the razor blade. So, it sinks.
A needle can float on water due to surface tension. When the needle is carefully placed on the surface of the water, its weight is not enough to break the surface tension created by the water molecules, causing it to float.
surface tension
the formation of droplets, the capillary action in plants, and the ability of insects to walk on water.
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.
Water has a relatively high surface tension compared to other liquids due to its strong hydrogen bonding properties between water molecules. This results in the formation of a cohesive layer at the surface of water, allowing it to resist external forces and form droplets.
No, mercury has a higher surface tension.
Surface tension is the force that acts on particles at a liquid's surface. It is caused by the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules, which creates a barrier that resists the penetration of external objects or forces. This force is responsible for phenomena such as capillary action and the formation of droplets.
