  • Surface Tension: the attraction between molecules of liquid
  • Real world application: Certain insects and animals have adapted in order to walk on water. The basilisk lizard is a prime example of this as they have adapted to have less density in their legs in order for them to run on water.
  • Human and/or global impact:  If there was no surface tension nothing would be able to float.
  • Relationship to chemistry: Surface tension has to do with intermolecular forces, the forces are key dependents on surface tension.
  • Relationship to water cycle: makes water into droplets in order to let it rain.

    • How would you define this property?
    • the sticking together of particles of different substances.
    • Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another
    • How is this property used in the real world?
    • Water droplets stick to the end of pine needles or leaves after it rains in a forest
    • What is the human and/or global impact of this property?
    • Adhesion and its properties are what allow metals to be welded together and houses and buildings to be built sturdily.
    • What is the relationship of this property to chemistry?
    • Adhesion is a property of all matter and how it sticks to and interacts with other forms of matter that it comes into contact. It determines how mixtures form.
    • How does this property relate to the water cycle?
    • Adhesion is what allows our oceans to stay as liquid instead of evaporating quickly.
