Properties of Water Lab # 1 Biology 111 January 23‚ 2011 INTRODUCTION With surface tension it is made possible for items such as paper clips to float on water‚ because a molecule within the mass of a liquid encounters gravity to all adjacent molecules in all directions. When you use surfactant substances this creates hydrogen bonds. Purpose of experiment 1 will be to show that once the surfactant substances hits the hydrogen bond pulls down paper clips. Things
