Water has adhesive and cohesive properties. Adhesive properties cause water to stick to surfaces while the cohesive cause the water to form drops.

the positive hydrogen is attract to the negative oxygen in the other water droplets as they are in their own droplet, this causes them to be attracted to each other and connect quickly

What happen when we boil water and expose the steam to a cold surface?
When we boil water and expose the steam (water vapor) to a cold surface, it will condense into tiny drops of water on the cold surface. If you can see the 'steam'rising above the water, it has already condensed into tiny droplets of water in the cool air.
What does it mean if something is glistening?
Something is glistening means that is wet and shiny or you may say there small drops of water on the surface , its wet , covered with drops and shining.
What is the pull on the surface of liquids to form drops when they fall?
Surface tension
Drops on a penny?
Cohesion and Surface Tension
How many drops are there in a quart of water?
One US quart is 18,927 drops.
The drops of water that form on surface near the ground?
drops of water form on surfaces near the ground Dew/condensate ; see relevant link .
What are the example of surface tension?
the spherical water drops of a flower.
Would water drops in a spider web be cohesion?
Mmmmm . . . more likely water drops in a spider web would be due to surface tension on the water's part.
Why does an oasis disappear?
If the water table drops the water may no longer be able to surface as a spring so water will disappear from the surface of the desert and the oasis will disappear.
Does salt dissolved in water change the number of drops that will balance on a coin?
Yes, it does. It reduces the number of drops that will balance on a coin by lowering the surface tension of the water.
What properties of water are at work when you place a two drops of water between glass slide?
Surface Tension
When drops of water collect on surface near the ground due to cooling it is called a?
The water is known as dew.
What happens to air if it reaches more than 100 percent?
The water vapor contianed in the air starts falling out in the form of little drops. The little drops combine into larger drops, and we call that 'Rain', or 'Dew'.
Which factor causes water to form small drops on a waxy surface?
hydrogen bonding
How surface tension behaves?
for example, if drops of water are placed on the top of a penny, the surface tension is going to hold the drops on top of the penny. when the penny can hold no more, it will all overflow. make sense?
What is found in rugged terrain where the ground surface drops below the water table?
Ordinary Spring
Which property of water causes drops on a freshly waxed car?
This phenomenon is called surface tension.
