Why do beads of water form on the outside the glass of iced water on a hot day?
Those are the water vapor from the air collecting on the cold surface. The water in the air has enough energy in the molecules to keep bouncing off the other molecules in the air and stay afloat, but when they touch the cold surface of the glass they usually trade enough of their kinetic energy to let the intermolecular bond (someday I'll remember the latin name for it) take hold and they stick. As these molecules are taken out of the air more water molecules diffuse into the volume they left and the process continues until enough collect to make a good size drop. Then, as you empty the glass, they warm up again and gain enough energy to break that bond so they float away.
Condensation on the ground makes what?
Condensation on the ground forms due to the cooling of air near the ground, causing water vapor to condense into liquid water droplets. This occurs when the ground cools overnight, reaching the dew point temperature where condensation can no longer be held in vapor form.
What causes cloud formation?
Cloud formation is caused by the process of condensation, where water vapor in the atmosphere cools and changes from a gas to a liquid form. This condensation occurs when air containing water vapor rises and cools, causing the vapor to condense around particles such as dust or salt in the air, forming tiny water droplets. These droplets collect and combine to form clouds.
Why does glass only soften at high temperatures not melt?
Well im not a technical scientist, and people might disagree, but glass is made of millions and millions of tiny molecules made up of milions and milions of atoms, we should all know that the hotter a molecule gets the more it moves about, millions of these do this, and this causes shape deformaties, especially in weak materials such as plastic and metal.... glass is made of lots of differents molecules so the heat makes them move very quickly into a liquid, but it has a lot higher boiling temp than for example water which is 100 D C
Can water adhere and cohere?
When two things that are alike stick together, they cohere. Water molecules in a cloud cohere to each other forming a droplet of water. More of these droplets cohere to each other forming larger droplets. When the cloud becomes saturated with water droplets it rains. When two (or more) different things stick together, they adhere. When you get caught in a downpour and your clothes gets really wet, the water makes your clothes adhere (stick) to your skin.
What occurs when water droplets form on the outside of your iced tea glass on a hot summer day?
the cold glass cools the air in contact with the glass to the point that it can no longer hold as much water vapor as is present. This makes water condense on the outside of the glass. or more formally The vapor pressure of water at the temperature of the glass is less than the partial pressure of water vapor in the surrounding air causing condensation.

Kid friendly definition of condensation?
Water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
What is it called when droplets of water form on the outside of a cold soda can?
Because the water evaporates outside of it and makes it sticky and cold. A2. The surrounding air contains water vapour, but can only hold so much for a given temperature. The cold of the can, causes the air touching it to cool. The air cannot hold the water at this cooler temperature, so it comes out, as water droplets on the can. So the water comes from the air.
Why are the thermometers called liquid in glass thermometers?
A so-called "glass" thermometer has a small bore-hole in the center of the glass that has some liquid in it. It's the activity of the liquid in the narrow hole that makes the thermometer a thermometer.
How will moisture form on a glass?
Cohesion and Adhesion. Adhesion is the property of water that makes it stick to other substances. For example, water on glass. Cohesion is the property of water that makes water stick to itself. For example, water droplets. Now you breath and the air has trace amounts of moisture, so when you breathe out, the moisture go from your mouth to the glass, and due to adhesion, it stays there for a while.
What makes a liquid-in-glass thermometer sensitive to a small change of temperature?
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is sensitive to small temperature changes because the liquid inside expands and contracts with changes in temperature. This expansion and contraction leads to a noticeable movement of the liquid in the narrow capillary tube, making it easier to detect even small temperature changes. Additionally, the glass tube and thinness of the liquid column increase the sensitivity of the thermometer.
How do you use the word liquid in a sentence?
Water is the liquid form of H2O.The court froze all of his liquid assets.Simple. Water is a clear Liquid that makes up over 80% of the earth's surface.
What makes hard glass hard?
well most things in the world start as a liquid. What most do is but in a "glass oven" it harden in the mold and you have the glass that you see today. In other words is it goes from liquid to solid. please pass your wisdom on . . . Wise woman age 9
What makes steam visible to the human eye?
Answer: we are able to see it because the steam is evaporating Answer: Actually, steam is invisible. What we see is small droplets of water, which appear when the steam cools down.
