A waxed car is not hydrophilic, it is not wetted with water. A drop of water falling on such a surface does not speak out wetting the surface. Instead the surface tension of the water drop pulls it into a spherical shape that sits on top of the surface until it either slides off or evaporates.

Would mercury bead up more on a waxed or unwaxed car?
Short Answer:One expects mercury, like water, to bead more on a waxed surface and less on a painted or metallic surface.Explanation:The phenomena of beading of any liquid depends on the density of the liquid and the interfacial surface tension between the liquid and the surface with which it is in contact.Mercury has a large surface tension normally. The mercury-air interface has a surface tension of about 482 dynes/cm compared to water-air which is about 72 dynes/cm. Both of these are larger than most other liquids. The water-mercury interface has a surface tension of 415 dynes/cm.Both water and mercury decrease surface tension when in contact with a polar medium such as an alcohol.Wax is very non-polar while paint is presumably slightly polar. Of course, metal would be more polar. (Perhaps polarizable is a better term.) One expects mercury, like water, to bead more on a waxed surface and less on a painted or metallic surface.
Why do beads of water often form on a slippery surface such as a freshly waxed car?

What property of water makes it bead up on waxy surface?
The form of water you are seeing is water vapor turning to mist and then collecting on leaves.
What is a word set for droplet of water?
A possible word set could be: bead, dewdrop, raindrop.
When was Bang Bead created?
Bang Bead was created in 2000.
Why does water bead up on a waxed car but gasoline does not?
Most waxes are petroleum based, just like gasoline. Therefore, they have similar properties and mix, whereas water has significantly different properties, causing it to 'bead up' and form droplets on the surface.
Why do water drops bead on a freshly waxed surface?
Water drops bead on a freshly waxed surface because the wax creates a hydrophobic barrier that repels water. This causes the water to form into beads instead of spreading out. The surface tension of the water also helps to maintain the spherical shape of the droplets on the waxed surface.
Which property of water causes water drops to bead on s freshly waxed car?
Water molecules are sticky due to hydrogen bonds
What happens when you drop one drop of water on waxed paper?
When you drop one drop of water on waxed paper, the water will bead up and form a circular shape due to the hydrophobic properties of the wax. This occurs because the wax repels the water, preventing it from spreading out or being absorbed into the paper.
Why does oil not bead up on waxed surfaces?
Oil does not bead up on waxed surfaces primarily due to the differences in surface tension and adhesion. Wax creates a hydrophobic surface that repels water but can allow oil to spread out more evenly, as oil's surface tension is lower compared to water. Additionally, the chemical properties of wax and oil can result in poor adhesion between the two, preventing the formation of distinct beads. As a result, oil tends to form a thin film rather than distinct droplets on waxed surfaces.
Does rooms to go sell bead spreads with their beds?
Sometimes they do, but most of the times i saw were with bed spreads!!!!!!!! hope I helped

How do you kill bugs inside beads?
you pour gasoline on the bead and let it dry or call an exterminator because the bead is most likely not safe to sleep on.
Why does water bead up on freshly waxed car?
Wax is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. Of course, this repulsion is not strong enough to make the water hover a millimeter above the surface, but it is strong enough to force the water to act in this way, rather than sit there in a thin sheet. The "surface tension" of the water itself also plays a role.
What is it called when you get a tiny bead of water?
it is called a drop
