Surface Area

http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/SurfaceTension.html. This is a complicated website that explains the physics of how hydrogen bonding reduces surface area. Do you know why warm water is better to clean with than cold water. You will have to wait for our presentation to find out. Anyways, I never knew how useful this stuff is because you can apply this information to you everyday life. From chemistry I can know what is better. Another thing I learned in physics is that everything in nature wants to be stable in other words nature is lazy and wants to exert very little or no force at all. So everything in nature tries to arrange itself to exert a net force of 0. That is an example of nature trying to maintain balance.
