Answer:well if the liquid drop has a larger surface area the tension will keep the drop afloat but say it were in the shape of like a needle there is less surface area when the drop hits so it will have less to hold onto and fall in with the rest.
hydrogen bonding increases the strength of the bond so im assuming those
i hope this helped a little bit
Explanation:
Surface tension can be defined as the characteristics of liquid surfaces to withstand exterior forces, as a result of cohesive property of liquid water molecules
The relationship between surface tension and drop diameter, is that as the surface tension increases the diameter of drop it can form increases quadratically
The reason the above relationship is correct is as follows:
A liquid's surface tension is the property of a liquid surface which while at rest collects to obtain the minimum surface area for the given volume
The surface tension is given by the following formula;
[tex]\gamma = \Delta \rho \cdot g \cdot d_e^2 \cdot \dfrac{1}{H}[/tex]
Where;
γ = Surface tension
[tex]d_e[/tex] = The maximum diameter
1/H = Correction coefficient
Δρ = The density difference
g = Acceleration due to gravity
Therefore, as the surface tension increases, the length or diameter of the liquid drop it can hold increases more rapidly (quadratically)
