Why will water form droplets on a smooth surface such as a counter top?

Water does not particularly want to form a dome, or it would be better to say, form a droplet, on a dirty surface.
See related questions below.
Water forms droplets when the cohesion of water with itself is larger than the adhesion of water to the surface.
A dirt surface cold be anything; hydrophobic or hydrophilic, soluble or insoluble, rough or smooth, hot or cold.
All these things matter.

Why there is water droplets forming on mirror when blown?
The hot heat from the hot water turns evaporates. Once it reaches or touches a cool surface (mirror), the heat would condense and turn into water droplets. Therefore, water droplets are found in the mirror when you bath.
What is surface tension in hair?
Surface tension is when liquid can not penetrate the hair shaft, for example when washing your hair water isn't adsorbed and instead water droplets form on top of the hair without actually sinking into it straight away.
What happens when steam from a kettle or hot shower touches a cool tile or mirror in what way is water changing its state?
The steam condenses to form water droplets on the cooler surface.
Why does water on a waterfall turn white?
the bubbles are caused by kinetic energy of the water forcing some of the pure oxygen (o2) mixed in with the water (h2o) being pushed to the surface, because the oxygen is much lighter and much less dense the water
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 do water droplets always form one huge drop on a penny?
Surface tension of water draws it into a larger drop. It will do that on any nonporous surface- metal, glass, smooth plastic, etc.
How is water droplets formed in the inner most surface of the beaker?
when the hot water in the beaker touches the cool surface of the beaker,the water condenses into water droplets.
Why water droplets can be found outer surface of cup?
Your question is imprecise - we do not get the point of what you are asking. Water droplets can be found on the outer surface of a cup if it has just been washed!
Visible masses if tiny water droplets above Earth's surface?
The tiny water droplets in the sky form clouds.
Why can you observe water droplets on the surface of a chilled bottle?
You can observe water droplets on the surface of a chilled bottle because the temperature of the atmosphere is a different temperature to that of the temperature in the chilled bottle.
Why is water reflective?
The surface tension of the water creates a smooth surface. Light, as well as images captured by the eyes, are reflected on that smooth surface.
Condesation on windows?
Condensation is water droplets appearing on a surface.
How do water droplets falling out of a thundercloud get bigger as they fall towards the earth's surface?
they get bigger because the water droplets are cold and there is also water vapour in the air which is hotand when they meet the water vapour changes back to water droplets which then combine with the water droplets falling from the thunder cloud!!
Where did the droplets of water come from?
Droplets of water will condense on a surface when the surface drops below the Dew Point temperature at that relative humidity.That is, the vapour condenses into a liquid phase. The droplet shape is caused by surface tension of the liquid.
How Do Water Droplets Form?
water droplets form when a cold surface touches a hotter surrounding air and condenses to form water droplets
Why water droplets could not form on the outer surface of the bottle?
The water is too hot
