cause its the best way to occupy as much space as it possibly can.

bubble is a sphere,it is surface tension responsible for this shape,a molecule interior is completely surrounded by other molecules and hence,on an average,it is attracted equally in all directions.However,a molecule on the surface of a liquid is subjected to a resultant inward pull because there is a greater no of molecules per unit volume in the liquid than in the vapour .Because of this inward pull,the surface of the liquid tend to contract to the smallest possible area which geometrically that of a sphere as if it were in a state of tension.
the matter in the bubble is in liquid form,and naturally it possesses the spherical shape in order to attain the minimum area

Because of surface tension. A circle (actually a sphere) gives you the smallest amount of surface around the volume of your bubble.
When you have lots of bubbles touching each other, as in foam, the shapes become very interesting.

It should be about the attraction forces between molecules. On a sphere, all molecules are equidistant from all other molecules, hence in balance. This wouldn't be the case on a triangle. But the chemical proof is beyond me. Ask your teacher.

because the sphere is more stable. i pictur it kind of like an arch. every dimension is supported. plus whatever bond is holding it together has the same tensions thus forming a sphere. it couldnt be square because of different tensions, if some bonds are stronger than the other the cycle will be broken...POP!

Technically speaking bubbles aren't circles, but rather balls.And that is because there is an equal amount of pressure all the way around it.

Wow.. wat a question
Bubbles and balloons have a lot in common! Scientists refer to them as "minimal surface structures." This means that they always hold the gas or liquid inside of them with the least possible surface area. The geometric form with the least surface area for any given volume is always a sphere, not a pyramid or a cube or any other form....

A bubble can't form sides/corners.

circle dnt hav corners unlike squares n triangles.so its closee to bubbles

the ancient greeks decided the earth was a globe (circle) not by experiment, but by reasoning that a globe was the perfect form.
