What property causes water to form beads?
The property that causes water to form beads is called surface tension.
What property of water causes it to stick to other things?
Biotechnology
Which property of water causes water to curve in a graduated cylinder?
With most liquids, the attractive force between the liquid and the container is greater than the attraction between the individual liquid molecules. So the liquid "sticks" to the side of the container. A few liquids have a "backwards" meniscus. An example is mercury. If you put mercury in a test tube, it would be higher in the middle than at the edges.
How would the heating curve for glass be different from the heating curve for water?
the glass is malleable
When water is in a container the surface of the water is curved this curve is call?
Meniscus is the curve at the surface of a liquid in a cylinder. It is caused by the adhesive and cohesive properties of water molecules. (Meniscus was incorrectly spelled in an earlier answer as "miniscus.")
Which property of water causes a curved surface?
Adhesion is the property of water causes the curved surface
What property causes water to form beads?
The property that causes water to form beads is called surface tension.
What property of water causes the curved surfaces?
erosion
What property causes water to form droplets?
Density
What property of water causes it to stick to other things?
Biotechnology
What is a unique property of water Describe the property and explain the chemical or physical reason that causes water to have the property?
Hydrogen bonding causes water molecules to connect . The energy required to break multiple hydrogen bonds causes water to have a high heat of vaporization; that is, a large amount of energy is needed to convert liquid water, where the molecules are attracted through their hydrogen bonds, to water vapor, where they are not.
What causes currents to move in curved paths instead of straight lines?
Earth's rotation causes the water to move in a curve; this is a manifestation of The Coriolis force.
What property of water causes many of its properties?
The polarity of the water molecule is responsible for most of water's properties.
The property of water that causes it to moderate the climate around lakes is its?
heat capacity
What property of a salt and water mixture causes the salt and water to separate?
Only the water evaporates. (At least at reasonable temperatures.)
The blackbody curve depends on what single property?
temperature
What property of water causes cells to burst when frozen?
Expansion of water as it freezes ruptures the cell walls.
