Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a liquid drop, the shape is spherical due to which property?
  • Step 1: Understand that a liquid drop is a small amount of liquid that forms a shape.
  • Step 2: Know that liquids have a property called surface tension, which is like a 'skin' on the surface of the liquid.
  • Step 3: Realize that surface tension tries to make the surface of the liquid as small as possible.
  • Step 4: A sphere has the smallest surface area for a given volume compared to other shapes.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the liquid drop takes a spherical shape to minimize its surface area and reduce energy.
