Question

The 'jesus lizard', so called because it can walk (ok, run) on water is described in the link below. if you were trying to catch one by changing the properties of a puddle in its path (to make the lizard sink), which additions to the water would help you achieve your nefarious ends? select all that apply.

Answer 1

Jesus lizard or some other animals that walks and run on the surface of water, they will use the surface tension of the water by applying small force which is enough not to break the tension. So to achieve the nefarious end, we need to add a substance that would break the surface tension. These types of substances are known as Surfactants, detergents are the example of this. Or we can achieve nefarious end by using the molecules that worked by charged part attached to a non-charged part.
