What if you block H-bonds? (Penny drop Experiment)

Have you ever wondered how many drops of water fit on a penny?

Have you ever wondered how many drops of water fit on a penny? Explore hydrogen bonds, surface tension, covalent bonds, and the partial polar nature of water with this simple at home water dropper experiment. Compare why water, alcohol, and soapy water make different sizes on top of the penny in relation to there hydrogen bonds.

Note: I made little typo at 3:08. The text should read, "How BIG does the SOAPY WATER bulge get?"
