What property is responsible for the beading up of water?

Surface tension, resulting from the polar nature of water molecules. In a molecule of H2O, two Hydrogen atoms are bonded to one Oxygen atom. The hydrogen atoms still carry a minor positive charge and the Oxygen a negative one. This causes the Hydrogen atoms on one molecule to be attracted to the Oxygen on another. The molecules tend to align themselves in a tetrahedral structure.

Surface tension is the same phenomenon that allows certain insects (water striders) to walk around on the surface.

Surfactants are substances that break up the suface tension. Dish soap is the most commonly known. Technically, any dissolved substance may affect the strength of surface tension by interfering with the polar attraction.

Why don't penguins get frostbite on their feet?

During cold conditions, the flow of blood is reduced to hold onto heat. In winter, penguins will keep their feet a degree or two above freezing which reduces the chance of heat loss and avoids getting frostbite. Not all penguin species live in freezing conditions though.

What happens in Frostbite by Richelle Mead?

This book is just as perfect as Richelle's other books. In Frostbite we have 2 new characters: First is Adrian; who is a spirit user and is interested in Rose .Second is Tasha Ozera who loves Dimitri. In the event of the books, Moroi get killed by Strigoi attacks. So Mason, one of the novices, naively believing he and his friends can kill Strigoi took off on their own to hunt strigoi only to be captured by them. In the end Mason gets killed by a Strigoi and Rose (Who has followed her friends to rescue them) kill the mentioned strigoi and his companion. After the horror part comes the reunion where Rose and Dimitri kinda come together again, but not as in that together and now Rose is a new Rose with two molnija tattoos.

Ah Ah Ah!!!! Shadow kissed was the best one ohlala. that is where Dimika and Roze get together like together together as in bodys pressed against another. Spirit bound is also very similar but it is with Adrian.
