Question
multiple - choice question which of the following is an example of surface tension? water dissolving sugar a water droplet bug walking on the surface of water water sticking to a blade of grass
Surface tension is the property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. A water - droplet forms a spherical shape due to surface tension as it tries to minimize its surface area. A bug can walk on the surface of water because the surface tension creates a sort of 'skin' on the water surface that supports the bug's weight. Water dissolving sugar is a process of solvation and not related to surface tension. Water sticking to a blade of grass is due to adhesion, not surface tension.
