What force of attraction is responsible for the formation of a thin film on the surface of water?
The attraction that causes water and other liquids to form drops and thin films is cohesion. The attraction between oppositely charges ions results in the formation of an ionic bond.
The attraction among water molecules is stronger than the attraction among?
carbon dioxide molecules
What is the attractive force between water molecules known as?
This is an intermolecular attraction of water molecules, associated by hydrogen bonds.
What type of electrical attraction is responsible for oxygen's ability to dissolve in water?
I believe it is dipole-induced dipole.
How tides are formed?
the moon pules the water, wind can also cause it
How the water striders stay dry on water?
Water striders have tiny hairs on their feet that enables them to walk on the surface tension of water without getting wet.
What are the insects that use their skin to walk across thd surface of the stream?
Insects that are able to walk across the surface of water are called water striders. Water striders make use of the high surface tension of water together with their long, hydrophobic legs to stay above water.
Do frogs eat water striders?
Yes, frogs do eat water striders. Water striders are small insects that live on the surface of water, and frogs may prey on them as part of their diet. This can help control the population of water striders in certain habitats.
What are the bugs called that glide across the water?
they are called water striders
Do water striders sleep?
yes all the time
Is there any way to walk on water?
Yes. Water Striders do it all the time.
How many eggs do water striders lay?
batches up to 10
What are the bugs that look like spiders on water?
Water striders. --------------------------- they are commonly called waterbugs or water skaters
What type of insects live in wet lands?
dragon flies and water striders
How do water striders breathe?
Water striders breathe through a set of small openings called spiracles located along the sides of their bodies. They primarily rely on the oxygen dissolved in the water, which they can access while resting on the surface. Water striders also trap a thin layer of air around their bodies, allowing them to extract oxygen from it when submerged. This unique adaptation enables them to thrive on the water's surface while efficiently obtaining the oxygen they need.
Do fish eat water striders?
Yes, some fish do eat water striders. Water striders are a part of the diet of certain freshwater fish species, such as trout and bass, that feed on insects and other small organisms found on the water's surface.
How can water striders walk on water?
Water striders are able to walk on water due to their unique physical adaptations. Their long, thin legs are covered in tiny hairs that trap air, creating a cushion that helps them stay afloat. This allows them to distribute their weight evenly and not break the surface tension of the water, enabling them to walk on its surface.
