(Choice A)
A
Surface tension occurs due to ionic bonding.

(Choice B)
B
Surface tension is caused by water molecules repelling one another.

(Choice C)
C
Surface tension allows water to support small objects if they are placed carefully on its surface.

(Choice D)
D
Surface tension of water is weakened by hydrogen bonding.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Small objects usually do not permeate the surface of the water due to its high tension. The covalent bonding of water allows for its unique ability of high surface tension.
