Which of the following properties of water can be used to explain the spherical shape of rain droplets? , Which of the following properties of water can be used to explain the spherical shape of rain droplets?

Solution

A. Surface tension

Explanation

Surface tension can be used to explain the spherical shape of rain droplets. Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible. Surface tension allows insects, usually denser than water, to float and slide on a water surface.
