Why does water form large round drops as it falls from a faucet with a slow leak
jarptica [38.1K]
Water molecules are polar. This means that one end of the molecule is positively charged, while the other is negatively charged. Opposite charges attract. Water molecules on the faucet that are eventually pulled away from the others by gravity will themselves pull together and form round drops because the charged portions of molecule attract the oppositely charged portions of another.

The mass of some corn plants at the end of their growth period was 6 tons per acre. Most of this mass was produced from?
Aleksandr [31]
<span>The majority of mass of any plant is produced from water from the soil and carbon dioxide with sunlight from the air. 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ... The gluclose (C6H12O6) is a simple sugar that becomes the biomass of the plant. Other minor contributors to the mass are from fertilizers (mostly N, P, and K) and minerals.</span>
