Because the hydrogen molecules in water want to stay connected and once you add soap it messes with the bonds and and they don't stay bonded as strongly. Also the mass and density of the water changes when you add soap.

Why do your eyes sting and become red when you put fresh water in them and yet they do not when you put in eye drops?

"Fresh water" the kind that comes from the tap has additives such as Fluorides. Eye drops are basically sterile water. Water alone is irritating to the eye. Tears are composed of water and salt so the eye drops that do not hurt, contain saline.


How do soapy water drops stay on a penny?

When soapy water is dropped on a penny, the surface tension of the water allows it to form a dome-like shape rather than immediately spreading out. The soap molecules reduce the surface tension of the water, allowing it to adhere to the penny and form a cohesive drop.

Can soapy water melt?

Soapy water itself does not melt as it is already in a liquid state. However, the soap molecules within the water can break down when exposed to heat, which can affect the properties of the soapy water.


Does the amount of soapie water effect how many drops can fit on a penny?

Yes, the amount of soapy water can affect how many drops fit on a penny. More soap can reduce the surface tension of the water, allowing it to spread and form a flatter shape, which may result in fewer drops fitting on the penny. Conversely, less soap increases surface tension, potentially allowing more drops to fit. Therefore, the concentration of soap in the water plays a significant role in this experiment.


Why aren't raindrops salty?

because the sun ONLY evaporates FRESH water so rain drops are NOT salty.


What is the difference in drops of water you can fit on a penny if you use soap and regular water?

When you place regular water on a penny, surface tension allows you to fit about 15-20 drops before it overflows. However, when you add soap to the water, the surface tension decreases, allowing more water to spread out rather than bead up. As a result, you can typically fit around 10-15 drops of soapy water on the penny, demonstrating the effect of soap on water's surface properties.
