surface tension divides the bad germs around the surface of the water
water bugs can "run on" water
it is also responsbile for capillary action, which helps plants suck up water
because it is what it is.
Im not really sure but i need to know!!
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
the surface tension has bonds, and the soap breaks those bonds, so if the soap water is put onto a surface.. it will slip off
Soap will lower the surface tension of water. Like any surfactant soap will lower the surface energy by disrupting the strong inter-molecular hydrogen bonding that confers such a strong surface tension to water.
For most liquids, an increase in pH results in decreased surface tension. This has been attributed to lower attraction force between molecules when pH rises.
Some insects can stand right on the surface tension of the water.
Surface tension helps organisms in the sense that it allows for a wide variety of biological phenomena. For instance, some water insects are able to walk on water due to surface tension.
Surface tension is related to life because: one, plants rely on surface tension to transport water during the biological process known as transpiration; and two, surface tension allows organisms such as water striders to walk on water.
Surface tension is important to water striders because surface tension gives them the ability to float and not sink and drown.
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
No. Neustons are organisms that rely on the surface tension of water to stay suspended on its surface. Krill live within water and are classified as nekton.
Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.
surface tension
Surface tension is most important to insects who land on water. Because of cohesion, the hydrogen bonds in water make each individual water molecule "sticky."

The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
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.
MERCURY has a higher surface tension than water. This highest surface tension between liquids is 487 mN/m at 15 0C.
