The Water Cycle
Hydrogen Bonding

Surface Tension
• Inward pull or forces due to Inward pull or forces due to hydrogen bonds.hydrogen bonds.
• liquid water acts like it has a skin.liquid water acts like it has a skin.• Water forms round drops.Water forms round drops.
Surface TensionThree different drops of
liquid Pure water – drops are spherical, surface tension means water wants minimum surface area
Water + Green Dye – No real effect on surface tension, drops still spherical
Water + dish Soap – Hydrogen bonds broken, less surface tension, flat drops
Adhesion, Cohesion
• CohesionCohesion causes water to form drops, causes water to form drops, surface tensionsurface tension causes them to be causes them to be nearly spherical, and nearly spherical, and adhesionadhesion keeps keeps the drops in placethe drops in place
Surface Tension
• Water drops Water drops are round are round because all the because all the molecules on molecules on the edge are the edge are pulled to the pulled to the middle.middle.
