Chapter 11, Problem 3CE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation
An explanation as to why the paper clip can float on water even though its density is much greater than the density of water is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Surface tension is the property of a liquid to resist spreading out and its tendency to acquire the shape like a spherical drop with minimum surface area. The object needed to be denser (heavier) than the liquid so that it can sink. The surface tension is dependent upon the intermolecular forces. It is directly proportional to the intermolecular forces of attraction.
