Wax repels water/liquid, it doesn't absorb it, so the water forms droplets.

What happen with drop of oil on a paper?

When a drop of oil falls on paper, the paper absorbs some of the oil while the oil spreads out and is eventually absorbed by the paper due to capillary action. The oil can leave a stain on the paper as it is absorbed.


Why a drop of dettol is evenly distributed in a bucket of water without the need of steering?

A drop of Dettol disperses evenly in a bucket of water due to the process of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration (the drop) to areas of lower concentration (the surrounding water). The molecular structure of Dettol, which contains surfactants, allows it to interact with water molecules and spread out. Additionally, the natural motion of water molecules contributes to the mixing without the need for stirring.


Why can you pour a glass of water to the rim of the glass?

it's called "surface tension". It is the property of the surface of a liquid which causes it to behave like an elastic sheet. This is why a "water strider" insect can skate across the surface of a pond without sinking into the water. It is also what causes a drop of water - the surface tension of the water pulls it into a ball.

What happens when you drop one drop of water on waxed paper?

When you drop one drop of water on waxed paper, the water will bead up and form a circular shape due to the hydrophobic properties of the wax. This occurs because the wax repels the water, preventing it from spreading out or being absorbed into the paper.

Will the shape of a drop of water and a drop of isopropyl alcohol on a piece of wax paper be the same or different?

The shape of a drop of water and a drop of isopropyl alcohol on wax paper will likely be different due to differences in surface tension and polarity between the two liquids. Water typically forms a more rounded shape with a higher contact angle, while isopropyl alcohol spreads out more easily due to its lower surface tension.


How slow does paper fall?

It depends if there's wind. It depend how you drop it, where you drop it, and how high you drop it. It also depends on the specifications of the paper used.


What are some examples for how to drop an egg without breaking the egg its self. or even purpose for how to drop an egg without breaking the egg its self?

It depends on how far the egg has to drop. In High School we had to do 1 story, about 10 feet drop with only 1 sheet of 8x10 paper. The most successful projects involved a combination of an airfoil design parachute with some crumbled up paper under the egg to act as a cushion.

What can living things live without?

A cockroach can live without water. In addition, koalas and some types of reptiles go their entire lives without drinking a drop of water-- they get all the water they need from the food they eat.


What happens when you drop water on a paper towel?

the paper towel sucks up some of the water but some sits on top of it, as the towel is saturated and cannot hold more water. Although it will not drip off unless there is to much and it can't be absorbed
