What would happen if you took scissors and cut water?

You'd get your scissors wet. Not that I'm trying to be terrible or funny, but I don't think you can cut water. This is an interesting question however. Jul 16 06, 7:19 PM

What-A-Mess

You do actually "cut" it but because of the cohesive properties of water, it immediately rejoins as if it were never seperated. "Water sticks to itself (cohesion) because it is polar, meaning one end of the molecule has more slightly more negative charge than another (and vice-versa). In water, this happens because the oxygen atom is more electronegative - that is, it has a stronger "pulling power" on the molecule's electrons, drawing them closer (along with their negative charge), and making the area around the oxygen atom more negative than the area around both the hydrogen atoms. Due to the polar nature of water, it is also very good at sticking to other things (adhesion)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water Jul 16 06, 7:35 PM
