Soap bubbles are made of a thin film of soap mixed with water. This film forms a sphere with air trapped inside, creating the bubble. The soap reduces the surface tension of water, allowing the bubble to form and float.

FAQs & Answers

  1. How do soap bubbles form? Soap bubbles form when a thin film of soap mixed with water traps air inside, reducing surface tension and creating a spherical shape.
  2. What is the role of soap in bubbles? Soap reduces the surface tension of water, allowing bubbles to form and float in the air.
  3. Why do soap bubbles have colors? Soap bubbles display colors due to light interference, with varying thickness causing different colors to appear.
  4. Can you create bubbles with other liquids? Yes, bubbles can be created with other liquid mixtures, but soap and water are most effective due to the reduction of surface tension.
