The answer is cohesion. The high surface tension helps the paper clip (with much higher density) float on water. The property of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to cohesive nature of its molecules. Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for molecules of the same kind. Water molecules have strong cohesive forces due to their ability to form hydrogen bond with each other.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

a) This method of stickiness is advantageous over covalent interactions because it is weak and easily reversible.

b) The feet are equipped with millions of septae which collectively produce a synergistic effect that produces a powerful adhesive effect.

Explanation:

Geckos have their feet studded with tiny hair-like substances called septae, and these substances interact with the surfaces on which the Gecko climbs using weak van der Waals forces to produce stickiness.

a) The van der Waals interactions for the purpose of climbing is of more advantage over the covalent method of interaction because climbing involves a repetitive action of adhesion to the surface and destruction of such adhesion, and this involves the creation and the breaking of the bonds between the two surfaces easily. van der Waals forces being easily broken helps to achieve effective climbing. If the method of interaction is with a comparatively strong bond, the speed of creation and destruction of such bond is reduced, and the effectiveness of climbing is reduced.

b) Although van der Waals forces are weak forces, each foot of the wall Gecko has millions of septae that each create a van der Waals interaction, and the collective interactions produce a powerful adhesion causing the feet to stick effectively.
