Why water does not fall even if we pour a little more water than the capacity of glass?
Water does not fall even if we pour a little more water than the capacity of glass as shown below.
This is due to a phenomenon called surface tension.
Because of attractive forces among water molecules, the surface of water behaves like a stretched sheet of rubber. There is a small tension in the water surface which prevents some water from overflowing immediately.
Because of surface tension phenomena, some small insects will be able to walk on water.
