Q859
Rain drops acquire spherical shape due to
A.
Viscosity
B.
Surface tension
AnswerC.
Friction
D.
Elasticity
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Raindrops start to form in a roughly spherical structure due to the surface tension of water. This surface tension is the "skin" of a body of water that makes the molecules stick together. The cause is the weak hydrogen bonds that occur between water molecules.
