do anyone know y are drops of water round?

Answer 1

It's the Hydrogen bonds - it creates surface tension (that is how bugs walk on water).

Answer 2

A drop of water stays together because of surface tension - the surface of the water has elastic properties. The most efficient way for the forces to distribute themselves is in sphere - every point of the outside surface is equidistant from the centre. So falling water organises itself into spheres, though when it first separates from another surface (a tap, say) the tension pulls it into an elongated 'drip' shape - as gravity overcomes surface tension the drop is pulled away from the tap and then reorganises itself into a sphere as it drops. See if you can find some slo-mo movies of water dropping on the net.

Answer 3

Water has unique properties, such as hydrogen bonding. It is also a polar molecule which strongly influences molecular attraction. Water drops are round because of these physical properties and how they work together to create surface tension/adhesion. As an aside, these properties are the reason water seems to climb up the sides of a glass of water (creates a meniscus) too.

Answer 4

I believe it has something to do with gravity pulling the water down.

Answer 5

BECAUSE IF THEY WERE ANY OTHER SHAPE THEY WOULDNT BE CALLED DROPS OF WATER.

Answer 6

water likes to hold onto its molecules (it's viscousity)

Answer 7

Because they like to be.

Answer 8

surface tension

Answer 9

lots of people know. I think it is static electricity.
