Question

The shapes of the drops relate to the attractive forces between molecules in a compound. Based on their shapes, how does the attractive force between the water molecules compare with the attractive force between the oil molecules?

Answer 1

Water molecule has hydrogen bonding and surface tension

Step-by-step explanation:

Intermolecular behavior of water is different from that of the intermolecular force of oil because water molecule is polar in nature while oil molecule is non polar. Dur to polar nature, water molecule has high surface tension which keep its atoms intact. Also the water molecule being polar also exhibit hydrogen bonding between hydrogen (+ive) and oxygen atom (-ive)
