Question

1. set your full cup in the tin container.
2. use the dropper to add drops of water one at a time while keeping count of your drops.
3. observe the shape of the top of the water and the number of drops you can add before it spills over.
4. stop your count at the number prior to when it spills over.
5. draw, label, and describe what happened in your notebook.
6. relate the surface tension diagram above to why you saw what you saw and why you added the number of drops you did.
7. submit this assignment to canvas and show your notes for a grade to mrs. conner.

question: true or false? water molecules want to cling to each other. at the surface, however, there are fewer water molecules to cling to since there is air above (thus, no water molecules). this results in a stronger bond between those molecules that actually do come in contact with one another, and a layer of strongly bonded water
true
false

Explanation:

Water molecules have hydrogen bonds which make them cling to each other. At the surface, due to fewer water molecules (because of air above), the remaining water molecules form stronger bonds (surface tension), creating a layer of strongly - bonded water.

Answer:

True
