Why liquids drops are spherical?
If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape thathas the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because watermolecules tend to stick to each other. So, when not confined by a container, and withnothing around it to distort its shape, a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like aball because the water molecules are pulling inward toward each other.
Why the rain drop spherical in shape?
the force of attraction between the molecules of water is higher then gases but lesser than solids.usually it spreads along the container in which water is kept,but during free fall as it occurs to rain drop,the forces tend to exert a combined effort to pull up to a shape which has smallest surface to volume ratio for a specific volume and that shape is our well known SPHERE!!!!zeeshan khakwaniEdit!Question - What shape is a water drop?----------------------Mary,If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules tend to stick to each other [because of there polar covalent bonds]. So, when not confined by a container, and with nothing around it to distort its shape, a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like a ball because the water molecules are pulling inward toward each other.If the drop is larger like a raindrop in free-fall, it has a domed top and a semi-flattenedbottom because as it falls it must push the air out of its way. That "upward" push of theair being displaced causes the falling drop to have a rather flattened bottom.Contrary to popular misconception, a free-falling raindrop is not shaped like a teardrop --round on the bottom and pointy on top.Regards,ProfHoff 722Answer:water(liquid ) property Surface Tension . Surface tension is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force.The only possible shape is spherical That can be resist the external force means forces all acting on outer side of the droplet that equals to the sum of all forces that binds together the droplet is leads to acquire the spherical shape.Bychandu.raf@gmail.com

What are phospholipids that tend to form tiny droplets with hydrophobic tails buried inside called?
micelles
Why does water form droplets when present in small amounts?
I believe you are referring to the spherical or dome like shape of water droplets. This occurs because water is a very cohesive compound, meaning that its molecules tend to be attracted towards one another. This cohesion in water is because of the multiple hydrogen bonds water is able to make, especially with other water molecules.
When a drop is fallen from a height why it forms a shape of spherical on ground?
It doesn't. In general, liquid droplets tend to form spheres because of, basically, surface tension. A sphere is the shape with the highest volume to surface area ratio, which minimizes the energy. However, once a drop hits the ground, it's not "spherical" ... it makes a circular shape, because it was roughly spherical (not quite, because air resistance was probably "squashing" it somewhat vertically into an oblate spheroid) just before it hit. By the way, the tradiational "raindrop" shape (with a "tail") is completely wrong; actual raindrops are oblate spheroids.
Does the density of a liquid affect the liquids of viscosity?
denser liquids tend to have more viscosity
How is mass and volume are related to form?
"Practically not at all" is essentially the best answer. High mass/relatively low volume objects (like, say, planets) tend to be approximately spherical.
What are fats that tend to be liquids such as plant oils?
unsaturated fats
Liquids with hydrogen bonds tend to have viscosities?
High Viscosities
What is the difference in shape between plant cells and animal cells?
Plant cells tend to be cubical in nature whereas animal cells tend to be spherical.
What happens to the particles when liquids cool?
When liquids cool, the particles tend to tighten up, or get really close together, and slow down.
Why rain is not spherical all the time?
Liquids in a gravity-free environment tend to being spherical in shape because that geometry minimizes the surface area. Raindrops, however, are falling. That pulls the mass towards the bottom of the drop. Because they are falling in air, instead in vacuo, there is an area of reduced air pressure immediately above the raindrop. Air rushing to fill the area of vacuum result in an upper surface which tapers.
How are planets and sun are alike?
They tend to be round, spherical objects which are visible in space. They have great mass and their own gravity.
