Question

select the true statements. surface tension only forms on large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds. surface tension only forms on small amounts of water, such as raindrops and dewdrops. water molecules on the surface are pulled downward by the molecules below. hydrogen bonds between waters surface and a water strider allow it to walk on water.

Explanation:

Surface tension occurs in all bodies of water, large or small, due to the cohesive forces between water - molecules. Water molecules on the surface have a net downward pull due to the lack of molecules above them. The hydrogen - bonding network at the water surface provides enough support for a water strider to walk on water.

Answer:

C. Water molecules on the surface are pulled downward by the molecules below.
D. Hydrogen bonds between water's surface and a water strider allow it to walk on water.
